Hmm, I have to say that 'Kyrkbyn' (the Church town) in Old town some kilometres from Luleå isn't that special. Just some old, small, red cottages. The church can be nice, it is very cosy in there. But of corse, when you are in Old town you may have to cross 'Kyrkbyn' to walk to the church... And well, the place is in UNESCO´s World Heritage List, I just feel those kind of historical place boring.

Like everywhere in the north, the countryside is just wonderful. So if the weather is nice remember to put on your good shoes and go for a walk outside the city.
