Lycksele Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

The airport is about 5 km from central Lycksele, reachable by taxi in about 20 minutes: the distances are short and the centre, on the bank of the Ume river, remains the most convenient base for most stays. Those travelling with family can consider the Ansia area, home to the city's zoo and water park, just 8 minutes by car from the airport.

Pros

A small city, few dining alternatives in the evening besides those of the hotels

Recommended hotels in this area
