Finland
Travelling north of the Arctic Circle to stunning Finnish Lapland is a rewarding treat. Not only was Finland dubbed the safest place to travel to by the World Economic Forum earlier this year, it was also named one of the top places to travel by Lonely Planet. It is no surprise to us that popularity for this amazing country has recently boomed!
With its sparkling blue frozen lakes and endless snowy plains, it makes the perfect activity playground to explore. Try husky sledding, enjoy a reindeer sleigh ride, ice fishing, cross-country skiing, meet Arctic animals, snowmobile, search for the Northern Lights and enjoy some good old fun in the snow!

Sweden
Next on our list is Swedish Lapland.
One of our favourite destinations in Swedish Lapland is the stunning Luleå Archipelago which has over 1,300 islands in the eastern Bay of Bothnia. Stay at Brändön Lodge and experience a tranquil Scandinavian retreat in your own winter cottage. You can experience a thrilling ride across the frozen sea on a hovercraft expedition, explore the area by snowshoe, husky or snowmobile!
Swedish Lapland also has some incredible and unique experiences on offer. Visit or stay at the original ICEHOTEL® in Jukkasjärvi which features magnificent snow and ice sculptures designed by artists from around the globe.
