5 THINGS YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT FINLAND ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ

We did a big road trip all across Finland in winter and it was one of our most favorite but also most freezing trips ever ๐Ÿ˜ Here are our tips: ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Places to visit / Things to do: 1. Watch the Northern Lights ๐ŸŒŒ In northern Finland you can see them during a clear night between September to April ๐Ÿฅน We were there in January. 2.&3. Stay in a glass igloo โ„๏ธ We stayed at @kakslauttanen_arctic_resort (*Azeige) and it was so magical โค๏ธ Their roofs are heated so you can see the sky all night and they even have an alarm for northern lights ๐Ÿ’ซ 4. Kemi ๐Ÿฉท Thereโ€™s also an igloo village (open for day tourists but also to spend the night ๐Ÿฅถ) 5. Go for a husky sleigh ride ๐Ÿ›ท 6.&7. Helsinki 8. Visit a reindeer farm ๐ŸฆŒ 9.&10. Oulanka National Park ๐Ÿ’ฆ Make sure to visit Santa Claus in Rovaniemi & cross the Arctic Circle โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿš— How to get around Definitely by car! If you travel in winter make sure your car is a 4x4 (we got stuck in the snow once and a tractor had to pull us out ๐Ÿ˜‚) ๐Ÿจ Where to stay? There are many unique accommodations in Finland! Like tree houses, igloos, cozy cabins in the woods and much more ๐Ÿค— Many of these are quite expensive but itโ€™s really worth it! โฐ Best time to visit All year round ๐Ÿค— In the winter itโ€™s very magical with all the snow but also extremely cold so make sure to be prepared ๐Ÿงฃ ๐Ÿถ Is Finland dog friendly? Overall yes but most restaurants donโ€™t allow dogs. Better check in advance if the activities you want to do are dog friendly. At the husky sleigh farm / reindeer farm we couldnโ€™t bring Felix for example. We hope this mini guide was helpful ๐Ÿค— Let us know if you have any questions โค๏ธโ„๏ธ #finland #northernlights #aurora #travel #guide #bestof #winter #winterwonderland cr๏ผšwanderlust_samoyed& Contact us for removal
