Lapland casts a powerful spell: there's something lonely and intangible here that fills it with Arctic magic. The midnight sun, the Sámi peoples, the aurora borealis (Northern Lights) and roaming reindeer are all components of this – as is Santa Claus himself, who ‘officially’ resides here – along with the awesome latitudes: at Nuorgam, the northernmost point, you have passed Iceland and nearly all of Canada and Alaska.
Lonely Planet Journeys takes you there with fully customizable trips to top destinations – all crafted by our local experts.
Discover the best attractions in Lapland from must-see sights to unexpected hidden gems.
