18h Arctic Circle Tain trip Stockholm - Abisko | SJ sleeper train |

Here is my vlog about my train trip to Abisko. The train company was SJ and it took us almost a day to get to Abisko from Stockholm. In this vlog, you will watch my experience about the train, beds, how we entertained ourselves and you will learn whether it really took us 18 hours or not.

Thanks for that good impression of travelling to the North which such a train trip 😊👍

[@Vinterfrid]

Just to get things right - the place is pronounced "Aa-bisko" (stress on the first syllable, not the second one).

We took the SJ sleeper up to Kiruna. We enjoyed it! How did you sleep?

Hello
Are there many tunnels from Stockholm to Kiruna?
Thx a lot, Pat

[@leilaland23]

Hej! I don’t think we passed through any tunnels 😊

[@Vinterfrid]

@@leilaland23 There are a few, but not very long ones.

[@user-tj4gz1vw1s]

hi, does the train go direct from Stockholm to Abisko, or did you have to change train at Kiruna?

[@leilaland23]

Hey! It was the same train!

[@rashiatry5813]

Hey, Would like to know if there is a need to book any tour when in Abisko to watch the Northern lights?

[@leilaland23]

There are some tours that you can book. We didn't do it, we just did it ourselves.

[@rashiatry5813]

@@leilaland23 How did you do it yourself? You self drove?

[@leilaland23]

@@rashiatry5813 we went ourselves to the forest at night and found some empty spot wothout the trees or we went to the lake and watched from there.

@@leilaland23 This is really helpful. I see that you did Dog Sledding, can you share your experience and also about the operator.

[@leilaland23]

@@rashiatry5813 as far as I remember there are several operators, I think all of them are good, and they treat dogs nicely. We just chose the one that was cheaper lol 😄

[@crystalhe801]

Can the windows be opened in the cabin?

[@Vinterfrid]

Yes, they can.

[@efuller3333]

Is all the food very overpriced like they are in N. America? Looks like better quality and more choices though

[@Vinterfrid]

That depends on what you mean by "overpriced". The Scandinavian countries are expensive to visit, but to us living here it's what we are used to.

[@rickardelimaa]

Those bunk beds looked soo uncomfortable. :D You probably talked about this in another video, but why Abisko? 19,5 hours? That's brutal!
I remember we drove car from Stockholm up to Gällivare (2 h drive from Kiruna), but I guess I will fly instead now if I want to see my relative up in the North.

[@WilliamsonAlexander]

You traviling with Vy not SJ.

[@leilaland23]

It was SJ

[@WilliamsonAlexander]

@@leilaland23 I'm seeing at 2:01 it's Vy. Vy is the operator for train since 13 December 2020

[@efuller3333]

“exciting” …or a little scary?!

[@helloworld8583]

a bit boring vlog ...

[@leilaland23]

Thank you for watching it 😊

[@LivinBeautifully]

I think it's succinct, relaxing, and explains your long journey perfectly. Thanks for making it!@@leilaland23
