Lapland, the northernmost part of Finland, is an epic travel destination with unforgettable experiences.
Winter highlights include blazing northern lights (Aurora Borealis), semi-wild reindeer, husky sledding, skiing – and of course meeting the most famous Finn, Santa Claus, who lives right at the Arctic Circle in Rovaniemi.
Summer is the time of midnight sun: in northern Lapland the sun doesn’t set below horizon for weeks. Lapland’s many national parks and wilderness areas are popular hiking destinations, and there’s great fishing, too.
One of the best months to visit Lapland is September, when foliage turns into vivid autumn colours.
