Hotels in Lapland Finland, Finland

Lapland is Finland's northernmost region, straddling the Arctic Circle, with freezing winters hitting -15°C (5°F) and short, cool summers around 15°C (59°F). It's world-famous for the Northern Lights (September to March) and Santa's home in Rovaniemi, where you can cross the Arctic Circle any day. Winter means snowmobiling across frozen lakes or husky rides through pine forests; summer brings midnight sun hikes in Urho Kekkonen National Park or river rafting on the Kitkajoki.
