Plan your visit to Piteå

Piteå offers a welcoming mix of nature, culture, and local experiences. From outdoor activities and cozy accommodations to vibrant events and relaxing moments by the sea, your journey begins here.

A trip to the Arctic city of Piteå starts long before you arrive, with good planning. Be mindful of the season: winter requires warm layered clothing and perhaps booking winter activities in advance, while summer means long bright nights, lighter clothing, and mosquito repellent.

Make sure your passport and travel insurance are valid, check flight and bus connections and don’t forget to pack essentials like a credit card, phone charger, and suitable shoes. With a little preparation, your journey will be smoother and you’ll be ready to fully enjoy all the adventures Piteå has to offer.

Packing Essentials

• Layering
  • Wear a moisture-wicking base layer (like merino wool or polyester), an insulating middle layer (fleece or down), and a windproof, waterproof outer shell.
• Extremities
  • Bring warm, wool socks and waterproof, insulated boots that aren't too tight.
• Accessories
  • Don't forget a warm, fleece-lined hat, scarf, gloves or mittens, and sunglasses or goggles to protect against the intense snow glare.
• Sun Protection
  • Sunscreen and lip balm are necessary because UV rays reflect off the snow.
