Welcome to Finland, one of the friendliest Scandinavian destinations we’ve ever visited! Since our visit to Rovaniemi, the capital of Finnish Lapland, last Winter we have since been hooked on this wonderful country and can’t wait to head back.

Even seeing Finland from above as we flew into Rovaniemi was like something from a fairytale. Lightly dusted spruce tree forests that stretched endlessly for miles. It truly is the most enchanting Winter destination, overflowing with magical scenery, thrilling adventurous activities and home to the stunning Aurora Borealis.

From our personal experiences, we’ve documented our experiences below, plus highlighting all of the best places to stay and epic tours and activities to do during your stay here. Read more to start planning your trip!
