Finland: ❄️🎅🏼 The ultimate winter adventure! Santa Claus, Reindeer sledge, Snowmobile , Northern lights, Helsinki & MORE Nordic cities!!

🇫🇮 Finland is host to some beautiful cities as well as most famously being known for hosting the beautiful region of Lapland where you have the opportunity to visit Santa Claus himself. It’s a wintery, snowy haven - full of adventure & magical scenery. Helsinki is well known for innovative art, culture and architecture, whilst other Finnish cities depict more culture - so it's no surprise that underneath the cities surfaces, a unique subculture is on the rise! If you’re looking for a spectacular way to prepare for Christimas in 2024 - this is the trip for you!
