Lapland travel guide
I have lived in Rovaniemi since 2022, and every winter I travel these roads with my guests. Here I have collected the practical information you will not find on GetYourGuide or TripAdvisor: useful whether you travel on your own or come with me.
- Renting a car in Lapland Which company is at which airport, whether you can rent with a Turkish licence, winter tyre and reindeer rules, prices and where renting is cheaper.
- Free things to do in Rovaniemi Routes I walk myself in town, shelters with fireplaces, the lookout tower, a free library and city sights and places to watch the northern lights from the city.
- Levi Finland's best-loved ski village: the gondola, Sámi culture, the village centre and aurora nights away from light pollution.
- Saariselkä, Ivalo and Inari The far north of Lapland: Urho Kekkonen National Park, glass igloos and Inari, the heart of Sámi culture.
- Eastern Lapland Ruka and Kuusamo, the suspension bridges of Oulanka, the frozen waterfalls of Korouoma and the amethyst mine at Pyhä–Luosto.
- Great Northern Tour A tour through Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish Lapland, which I run only for private, closed groups.
