Finland tours: epic sights at the Arctic Circle, featuring Santa Claus

Discover forests, lakes and reindeer in Finland! It's only fitting that a country with so many reindeer is home to Santa Claus! Lapland in Finland's north is proud of its most famous resident, and you can even visit the jolly bearded man himself at Santa's village in Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle. Just make sure you've been good all trip.

But don't be fooled into thinking Finland is a winter-only destination – far from it. Helsinki, Finland's capital, is the country's southern hub and home to star attractions such as Suomenlinna Fortress.

There are some great drives through the rest of the country, from the Arctic tundra of the north, which is still home to the Indigenous Sami people, to the countless lakes and pine forests of the south.

You'll love everything about your travels here, from start to Finnish!

Helsinki Cathedral

Get ready for cobbled streets and stunning views straight out of a fairytale. This UNESCO World Heritage-listed city has many highlights including Ceský Krumlov castle (and not just because of the brown bears living in the moat). After a stroll around town, tuck into a traditional Czech meal. Dumplings, stew and servings of hearty food, comin' right up!
