Sweden stretches from the Baltic beaches of the south to the Arctic north, and night trains make that distance part of the journey. Fast trains link Stockholm with Gothenburg and Malmö, and a long line runs north to Lapland.

Abisko

Sweden Northern Lights

Follow the rail line north through Kiruna and Abisko to a Norwegian fjord.

From Stockholm's island streets, follow the railway north through Kiruna to Abisko's mountain landscape and Narvik's fjord-side harbour. Several nights in the far north leave room to look for aurora, though darkness, clear weather and natural activity all shape what appears.
