One of the things you must eat when you go to Finland is reindeer meat I went to a restaurant to eat reindeer meat for the first time. What does reindeer meat taste like when you eat it locally? First of all, the visual of the steak is really good. It looked like it would be fishy, ​​but it wasn't fishy at all It wasn't tough and was soft. And the food that came with minced reindeer meat and mashed potatoes This was also a very delicious and unique experience.

Kolari means a car accident in Finnish but actually this time the name means an old person making charcoal to be used in a furnace to melt metal. Anyway, Kolari is a little village in Western Lapland too. It’s one of the northernmost stations in the Finnish railroad network but also a place where you can buy one of the best burgers that exist. Kolarin Burger, despite the very basic look of the restaurant is amazing. There are various burgers with relative cheap prices and the taste is amazing! Definitely worth stopping on the way to the northwest ski resorts or on a road trip in Lapland. The place is also conveniently located just near the Swedish border crossing so you can visit the place also when traveling in northern Sweden. I recommend you to try the reindeer burger or if you’re extremely hungry, you can have the 2x220 gram double burger. The prices of menus are 10-20 euros including a drink and well made fries. Pizzas are good too but don’t differentiate from other pizza restaurants as much so I definitely recommend having a burger. #finland #lapland #kolari #burgers #restaurant #roadtrip#urbanexplorer

In the winter, Yllas Mountain is a ski resort. In the summer, it turns into an outdoor paradise for hiking or cycling. There is always a cable car for you to reach the summit of Ulles, and you can spend more than 30 kilometers away from Sweden. For 250 euros, you can get a free coffee or other beverage for a lifetime in the Peak Cafe. Warm and comfortable, very Nordic
