Lonely Planet review for Jukkasjärvi
As well as the famous Ice Hotel, tiny Jukkasjärvi, 18km E of Kiruna, is home to a church, which has a modern Sami painting behind the altar. Near the church is Gárdi, a reindeer yard that you can tour with a Sami guide to learn about reindeer farming and Sami culture. Also in this area is the Hembygdsgård, a typical open-air homestead museum. Regular bus 501 runs between Kiruna and Jukkasjärvi (Skr26, 30 minutes, several daily).
