Finland Travel Insights
1 Week in Finland - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas
With one week in Finland, you can experience two to three destinations at a comfortable pace, like Helsinki and Rovaniemi, on a combined city and outdoor itinerary, ideal for first-timers. Travelers set on seeing the northern lights should choose the "Aurora Adventure," and outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the "Lapland Winter Adventure," which includes skiing and snowshoeing in Pyhä. Families will love the wildlife safaris on the Summer Adventure, while foodies can sample Finnish flavors on a culinary tour.
Finnish Winter Wonderland: Helsinki & Rovaniemi - 7 Days
Enjoy a fantastic winter getaway in Finland with a week full of outdoor adventures. Start in Helsinki and discover its key monuments. Head far north to Lapland and stay in the capital, Rovaniemi, to witness the northern lights. Get cozy with the reindeer as you take a sleigh ride through the Arctic wilderness before cuddling huskies at play. Hike to Korouoma Canyon for stunning views of frozen waterfalls, then warm up by a fire in the woods as you revel in a spectacular winter wonderland.
Ultimate Lapland Aurora Adventure - 7 Days
This week-long trip to Finnish Lapland is packed full of wonderful winter adventures. Ice-climb your way up a cliff and plunge into an icy Arctic lake. Zip around the landscape on an electric snowmobile, go snowshoeing through the forest under the moonlight and travel deep into the snow-dusted wilderness to meet huskies and reindeer—all under a shimmering green glow as the northern lights dance across the night sky.
Lapland Animal Summer Adventure: Rovaniemi, Kuusamo & Pyhä - 7 Days
Northern Finland transforms in the summertime, and there's no shortage of activities and animals to seek out under the midnight sun. On this seven-day itinerary, meet domestic animals like huskies and reindeer as well as wild ones, like brown bears, golden eagles, and wolves. Try fishing in one of the area's many lakes, visit the only polar bear in the country at a wildlife park, and spend a sunlit night looking for passing bears before the week is up.
Southern Finland Culinary Tour: Helsinki & Turku - 7 Days
Discover southern Finland's authentic flavors on this weeklong culinary itinerary. Explore the market halls of Helsinki and Turku, sampling the local ingredients that fuel cafés, restaurants, and bars across the country. A focus on food doesn't mean you'll miss out on any major attractions, though. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the grounds of Suomenlinna, an old Swedish fortress, and nibble on fresh pastries as you float down Turku's Aura river.
Lapland Winter Adventure - 7 Days
This weeklong adventure includes Finnish Lapland's classic winter experiences—and some extra activities you might not expect. Alongside enchanting horse-drawn sleigh rides and snowmobile safaris chasing the northern lights, try your hand at ice fishing, snowshoe your way to an amethyst mine, and ski deep-powder slopes north of the Arctic Circle. Authentic visits to a family-run husky park and an off-the-tourist trail reindeer farm round off an unforgettable trip.
