Lapland

Lapland is the northernmost region of Finland that borders Sweden, Norway, Russia, and the Baltic Sea. Although it’s one of the most sparsely populated areas in the country, it’s also one of the most popular locations to visit for tourists. The area is known for its vast sub-artic wilderness, ski resorts, and the beautiful phenomena that some call the “Midnight Sun” or “Northern Lights”. In the area you can also – feed reindeer, go dog sledding, and visit Santa!

Helsinki

Located on the Southern coast of Finland, Helsinki is the nation’s capital and home to an abundance of history dating back to the stone age. There’s lots to see and do in Helsinki, including unique cultural sights and local Finnish experiences. From art museums and historical cathedrals to a full amusement park in the middle of the city.

The Baltic Sea
