Finland round trips: Helsinki, Lapland and the northern lights
Top offers for Finland
Unique Finland: A thousand lakes, deep forests and endless expanses
When everyday life gets loud, Finland brings back the silence. Not as a pause, but as a real experience. Just nature: a thousand lakes, deep forests, endless expanses – made for road trips and that incomparable feeling of freedom. High up at the Arctic Circle in Lapland, adventure awaits. In the Finnish winter, you'll zoom through white expanses on a husky sled, trudge through crunching snow in snowshoes or chill in the sauna. Ice everywhere. And at night, the northern lights dance above your head. When midsummer arrives, the sun simply doesn't set. Day and night blur together. Time loses all meaning. You're simply there – and with you comes the feeling that anything is possible. You'll find Finnish city vibes in Helsinki: Scandinavian minimalism meets creative cuisine and hip neighbourhoods where design blends with street life. Finland isn't a destination. It's a reset. Authentic. Clear. Intense.

What are the must-sees in Finland?
Finland is full of highlights, but these must-sees belong on your bucket list.
Helsinki: sights and sea
In Helsinki, Scandinavian style meets real life. You'll stand on the steps of the white cathedral, dive into the Design District, stroll through markets by the harbour and try fresh salmon straight from the stall. A ferry takes you to Suomenlinna in minutes – picnic with sea views included. In summer, the parks and beaches celebrate never-ending days, and in winter you'll plunge into the icy waves after the sauna. Helsinki feels modern, creative and relaxed all at once – a city that immediately draws you in and is the perfect starting point for your Finnish adventure.
Arctic Circle: Lapland and Rovaniemi
Lapland is Finland's wild north: endless expanses, deep forests, a thousand lakes and snow-white landscapes in winter. In Rovaniemi, right on the Arctic Circle, you'll visit the famous Santa Claus Village – a highlight at any time of year and the home of the real Santa Claus. In summer, you'll experience midsummer nights where the sun never sets, ideal for hikes, canoe tours or road trips through the pristine nature. In winter, husky and reindeer sleds, snowmobiles and the chance of northern lights beckon.
Winter wonderland: northern lights and husky safari
Finland in winter means one thing above all: the chance to see the northern lights. In Lapland, high up at the Arctic Circle, they dance across the sky almost every clear night – green, violet, sometimes red. It's a moment that gives you goosebumps and crowns every trip. But winter here offers more: husky safaris through white expanses, snowmobile action across frozen lakes and snowshoe hikes through silent forests. In Helsinki, you'll enjoy winter markets and saunas with sea views, and in the north you'll embark on winter road trips through endless space. Finland in winter is nature's cinema deluxe – intense, crisp and unforgettable.
Midsummer: endless days and road trip vibes
When summer begins in Finland, night simply stops. During the midnight sun, it stays light for weeks on end – a unique feeling when sunset and sunrise merge into one. It's perfect for road trips through Lapland, hikes through national parks like Oulanka National Park or kayak tours on one of the thousand lakes. Midsummer, the big celebration in June, brings bonfires, flower wreaths and long nights by the water.
Adventure: extraordinary accommodation
Finland turns every night into an experience – especially with its many extraordinary types of accommodation. In a glass igloo or nature igloo, you'll lie tucked up warm in bed with the sky in view: dancing northern lights in winter or the midnight sun in summer. A glass villa in the middle of the wilderness brings you closer to nature than ever before. Through the large windows, you'll look straight into deep forests or across vast lakes. And in lodges by the water, you'll enjoy pure tranquillity. Here, spending the night becomes an adventure in itself – crisp, intense and unforgettable.
