Reasons to visit Finnish Lapland

Here, we share some of our top reasons to visit Finnish Lapland which are sure to inspire you to visit this wonderfully unique place.

You might see the Northern Lights

Although the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are difficult to spot, you stand your best chance of seeing them in Finnish Lapland during the winter. This is because the dark nights are the perfect backdrop to the green lights of this natural phenomena, and when the sky is clear from clouds you might be able to spot them glowing in the darkness. If seeing the Northern Lights is on your bucket list, you might like to book one of a number of tours which can help you to find them. Tour guides know the best places to spot them, so you can be more successful than if you were to try to chase them by yourself.

Relax and unwind in a traditional sauna

Some might say that Finland is best known for its saunas, so you simply must visit one during your time in Finnish Lapland. Relax and unwind as the heat soothes both your body and mind, and take time to allow your worries to drift away. Finnish saunas are traditionally dimly lit and only fragranced with the aromas of fresh birch. This means that they may be unlike saunas you have tried at home, which often incorporate music and have scents added to the air.

Try a husky safari

One of the most popular activities in Finnish Lapland, going on a husky safari is an experience like no other. Zip through the snow pulled by the beautiful dogs, and admire the stunning scenery as it passes by. Husky safaris feel almost magical due to how quiet your surroundings will be, but this silence is sure to be broken by your squeals of enjoyment!
