Luleå, Northern Swedish coastal city in Norrbotten County.

Located at the Gulf of Bothnia where the Lule River meets the sea, Luleå extends across multiple islands connected by bridges and waterways.

The city received its Royal charter in 1621 from King Gustavus Adolphus and relocated to its current position in 1649 due to water depth issues.

The Gammelstad Church Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, contains 424 wooden houses that were used by churchgoers from distant areas during religious gatherings.

Luleå Airport handles 1.2 million passengers annually and connects to Stockholm through regular flights, while five main bus lines serve the city center.

The city maintains winter roads on sea ice between December and April, allowing vehicles to drive to various islands in the archipelago.
