Best things to do and see in Lapland
Laplanders have a great appreciation for music, particularly their local traditions and versions. So it comes as no surprise that they have a host of music festivals, including the Jutajaiset International Folk Festival held in the last week of June each year in Rovaniemi. Look out for the acoustic Pyha Unplugged, which happens every August, held in the natural amphitheatre of Aittakuru. Also, the Savonlinna Opera Festival has been held every July in the medieval Olavinlinna Castle since 1912. The locals also have a love of good movies. The Sodankyla Midnight Sun Film Festival has been held every June since 1972, attracting filmmakers, directors and fans to Rovaniemi to watch screenings from around the world. Midwinter, when Lapland is covered in snow, is the perfect time for the Snow Festival, held in the northern city of Kiruna in the last week of January each year. There's dog sledging, figure skating and the highlight: a snow sculpture competition. Time your trip to Lapland to coincide with these events for even more enjoyment. There are numerous Lapland flight deals through momondo from London airports such as Heathrow, Stansted and Gatwick to the capital city of Rovaniemi, with a stop at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.
The food in Lapland is rustic but delicious, with influences from surrounding countries such as Norway, Russia and Sweden. It's all about fresh meat, fish and berries. In this snowy landscape, reindeer is a popular meat and can be eaten raw, sautéed, or in burgers, sausages or steaks. Finnish hunters are legally regulated and hunt with care, so you can be sure any game meat has been responsibly hunted. Elk is a favourite, served as meatballs in a red wine sauce. Laanilan Kievari in Saariselka is a good restaurant for meaty dishes. Out in the Arctic woods, Laplanders also enjoy foraging for mushrooms, especially the pine variety, often serving them as a side dish to meat. The waterways in Lapland are teeming with fish, the most popular being salmon. It's served raw or smoked, but local favourites are salmon soup and grilled salmon over an open fire. Try Restaurant Pirkon Pirtti in Saariselka for the best seafood. Berries abound in Lapland, from cranberries to lesser-known bilberries, cloudberries (often made into a liqueur) and lingonberries. They also use them to make jams, desserts, confectionery and sauces. Try the sweet treats at Restaurant Nili in Rovaniemi. Lapland has its very own potato: the almond potato (lapin puikula). It's shaped like an almond nut and cooked as fries or simply mashed.
A highlight of a trip to Lapland is witnessing the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). You can see this feat of nature on clear nights from the end of August to April. From October to April, it's time to get out your skis and hit the slopes. The four most popular ski resorts in Lapland are Levi, Ruka, Ylläs and Pyhä-Luosto. Near Levi, you'll also find the Ice Gallery, with structures that are all carved from ice – you can even book a room here for the night. Rovaniemi is known as the home of Santa Claus, and kids just love visiting the Santa Claus Village; there's also Santa Park with rides and shows, and Jolukka where youngsters can visit the elves, care for the reindeer and pick berries. In the north of Lapland, you'll find the village of Inari, home of the indigenous Sámi people. You can learn more about their history and culture at the Siida museum. At the zoo in Ranua, you can see Finland's polar wildlife such as lynxes, polar bears, wolves and moose. You can enjoy all this and more in this beautiful Finnish region. There are regular flights to Lapland which you can book through momondo, most of which are just a few hours from airports in London.
