Parking

We tend to get a lot of visitors on Midsummer and the parking areas are limited, therefore we recommend as many as possible to take the local bus.

There will be a parking fee of 40 SEK at all of the major parking lots, the fee goes to the association that manages the parking. There are two parking spaces for visitors with disability permits at the parking lot by the end of Gamla Hamngatan. Four more can be found at the parking lot behind Kafé Fägnan, with entry from Rutviksvägen. Here you will find a map of parking areas at Hägnan and in the church town during Midsummer.

With regard to the bus traffic and emergency vehicles, keep in mind not to park in unauthorized areas by the side of the road.

The local bus

Bus number 9 (Luleå Lokaltrafik, LLT) goes all the way to the church town of Gammelstad. On midsummer the bus stops at "Sandåkersvägen". You can also take bus number 1 and 2 to "Stadsö Centrum" but it requires an approx. 20 minutes walk to get to the church town and Hägnan.

Please note the deviating timetable with extra buses to and from Gammelstad on midsummer. For more information please see Luleå Lokaltrafik's webpage www.llt.lulea.se.
