Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi, Ice hotel in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden
The Icehotel spans over 6,000 square meters and features rooms, suites, and common areas constructed entirely from snow and ice blocks harvested from the Torne River.
The establishment opened in 1990 after Japanese ice artists created an exhibition in 1989, where visitors first requested to sleep inside an ice structure.
Each winter season, selected international artists craft new interior designs and sculptures, transforming ice blocks into temporary architectural masterpieces and exhibitions.
Guests receive thermal sleeping bags and instructions for sleeping at -5°C temperatures, while standard heated accommodations remain available throughout their stay.
The structure completely melts during spring, returning all its ice and snow components to the Torne River, making each winter edition different from the previous ones.

Underground structures and natural caves across countries, from ancient burial grounds to mining sites. These locations display geological features and historical developments of human civilization.
This collection brings together locations that challenge the norms of conventional tourism. It offers the chance to discover places where nature, history, and human activities have created astonishing sites: a complex of 732 unfinished villas in Turkey, a Mexican island where hundreds of dolls are hung in trees, a Canadian lake with mineral-formed multicolored basins, and a Polish forest of 400 pines with mysteriously bent trunks facing north. The route also includes unique human-made creations, such as an art installation representing an isolated Prada store in the Texas desert, or the Japanese village of Nagoro where an artist populated the streets with 350 dolls after the residents left. Geological phenomena are also featured, including Darvaza crater in Turkmenistan, which has been burning continuously since 1971, the Great Blue Hole in Belize, a 124-meter-deep underwater cavity, and Colombia’s Caño Cristales river that changes color to red, yellow, and green from July to November. These destinations provide a different perspective on our planet and invite exploration of lesser-known facets of our world.
Stockholm combines medieval architecture with contemporary museums. The city presents Swedish history through palaces, museums, and historic buildings. Cultural venues range from the Vasa ship to the ABBA Museum.
