Located in the northernmost region of Finland, Lapland boasts a magical ambiance that whisks visitors into a winter wonderland bearing resemblance to folklore tales and children's fantasies. It's known for its stunning frost-encrusted forests, ethereal Northern Lights, and compelling Sami culture. The region is globally recognized as the home of Santa Claus, where Rovaniemi, the official hometown of this beloved figure, annually attracts thousands of wide-eyed children and their families. Lapland's unique offerings also include dog sledding, snowmobile adventures, and reindeer rides, along with stunning ice hotels and glass igloos that offer an intimate experience of the icy landscapes and mesmerizing skies. As a winter paradise and a crossroad of age-old traditions and mythical appeal, Lapland gives an extraordinary mix of adventure and culture.

Lapland

100% a safe place to travel to as a solo traveler, never felt threatened or intimidated. 

There is plenty of things to do from dog and reindeer sledding through snowy forests to snowmobiling searching for the northern lights. 

This was an expensive trip but well worth it for the experiences. You have my heart Lapland/Finland ❤️
