  • What is the difference between Finish and Swedish Lapland?

    Finnish Lapland is more famous, more touristy, and busier (think of Rovaniemi and Santa Claus Village). Swedish Lapland is quieter, more authentic and activities in smaller groups (usually around 8 people). It is the ideal choice for travelers looking for peace, culture, wilderness, and a deeper connection with nature.
