Parking
The Midsummer celebrations are usually well attended and the parking spaces are limited, so we recommend as many people as possible travel by bus.There will be a parking fee of 40 SEK at all of the major parking lots, the fee goes to the associations that manages the parking. There are parking spaces for visitors with disability permits at the parking lot behind Kafé Fägnan, with entry from Rutviksvägen. 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.
