Lapland stands out as one of the most incredible winter trips I’ve ever experienced, and I’m delighted that you enjoyed it too! I’ve received numerous questions, prompting me to write this article to offer assistance, share tips, and address some of your inquiries <3<\/p>\n

To start, Finland, located in Northern Europe, has Helsinki as its capital. Lapland, depicted in the map below from Wikipedia, constitutes one of its regions, covering 30% of the country. Renowned for its Arctic landscapes and as the residence of the indigenous Sami people, Lapland’s most well-known city and capital is Rovaniemi.<\/p>\n

Did I go alone or by group? <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I started this journey with a group from Athens just before Christmas, and after their departure, I extended my stay for a bit. The travel agency, NORDIX, based in the center of Athens, efficiently organized all aspects of the trip – activities, transportation, flights, food, and accommodation. We spent a fulfilling 6 days in Levi and Rovaniemi and I must say their expertise and meticulous planning were evident. Having traveled with other agencies before, the difference in quality was striking, and I wholeheartedly recommend NORDIX.<\/p>\n

Angel’s tip<\/strong> : Lapland<\/span><\/span><\/span> is not one of the easiest trips, requiring significant arrangements in advance, especially during the high season. You don’t want to arrive there and not be able to do husky safari because everything is fully booked! However, armed with time, enthusiasm, and the information I provide in this article, it’s entirely possible to plan such a trip independently. As for the cost, Finland is known to be an expensive country, and this trip, with its\u00a0 variety of activities, falls into the higher price range. Considering the complexity of the arrangements, I doubt that organizing everything independently would result in a significantly cheaper alternative.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Which option is cheaper? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The correct answer varies depending on factors such as the hotels chosen, transportation, the month of visit, preferred activities, and flight options. Speaking from my own experience during the peak season and with the specific hotels I selected, I found the group package to be more cost-effective. Angel’s tip:<\/strong> <\/span>Although the total cost of 2700 \u20ac for a 6-day GROUP trip ALL INCLUDED may seem high to you, it’s essential to consider that Lapland is known for being an expensive destination with many activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The costs:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Before choosing the travel agency NORDIX with the package of 2700 \u20ac for a 6-day GROUP trip ALL INCLUDED during that Christmas, I conducted a personal investigation. Typically arranging my travels independently, this decision involved a careful assessment of costs and I found that, in this case, the group package offered by NORDIX was more economical considering the high prices in Lapland and the high season I was visiting.<\/p>\n
