Driving in the area around Gällivare is the perfect way to explore Lapland's raw wilderness and see Nordic animals such as moose and reindeer! Although it can be a wonderful encounter, you should remember that they can be a major cause of many traffic accidents, especially in winter! You should also watch out for heavy snowfall, ice, and strong winds in winter. You only need to remember two important rules: drive slowly (it's the best way to see if something is approaching!) and keep enough distance to be able to brake! Also, don't forget that the headlights should always be on, even during the day.

The best thing about picking up your car at Europcar in Gällivare is that you can set off on a wilderness expedition in no time - ski slopes, northern lights, mighty mountains, and beautiful parks are ready for you! If you are here during the winter, you can drive about 100 kilometers south from Gällivare. There you will find Jokkmokk - "Bäckkröken" in Sami. It is famous for its winter market, which has been held annually since 1605 - it starts on the first Tuesday in February. Jokkmokk is the place where the Sami gather for concerts, exhibitions, and trade. If you like fishing, you should head straight to Pajala. About 150 kilometers east of Gällivare - with its lakes and rivers - this small town is a paradise for fishermen. You can catch trout, salmon, and grayling or just enjoy the raw beauty of nature. Another must-see town in Swedish Lapland is Luleå, the coastal capital of Norrbotten in Sweden's northernmost province. Drive 240 kilometers south from Gällivare, and you will find a thriving high-tech hub that is also the site of an incredible restaurant scene. Start with the church town of Gammelstad, one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites, located just 10 kilometers northwest of Luleå and once the heart of the city. With its 408 red timber cottages and old church, this 400-year-old village is the pride of the city. No matter where you go, don't miss Luleå's archipelago, it's the city's biggest highlight!
