5 THINGS YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT FINLAND 🇫🇮

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 😁 Here are our tips: 🗺️ Places to visit / Things to do: 1. Watch the Northern Lights 🌌 In northern Finland you can see them during a clear night between September to April 🥹 We were there in January. 2.&3. Stay in a glass igloo ❄️ We stayed at @kakslauttanen_arctic_resort (*Azeige) and it was so magical ❤️ Their roofs are heated so you can see the sky all night and they even have an alarm for northern lights 💫 4. Kemi 🩷 There’s also an igloo village (open for day tourists but also to spend the night 🥶) 5. Go for a husky sleigh ride 🛷 6.&7. Helsinki 8. Visit a reindeer farm 🦌 9.&10. Oulanka National Park 💦 Make sure to visit Santa Claus in Rovaniemi & cross the Arctic Circle ❄️😍 🚗 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 😂) 🏨 Where to stay? There are many unique accommodations in Finland! Like tree houses, igloos, cozy cabins in the woods and much more 🤗 Many of these are quite expensive but it’s really worth it! ⏰ Best time to visit All year round 🤗 In the winter it’s very magical with all the snow but also extremely cold so make sure to be prepared 🧣 🐶 Is Finland dog friendly? Overall yes but most restaurants don’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 couldn’t bring Felix for example. We hope this mini guide was helpful 🤗 Let us know if you have any questions ❤️❄️ #finland #northernlights #aurora #travel #guide #bestof #winter #winterwonderland cr:wanderlust_samoyed& Contact us for removal
