Lapland is one of the world’s most magical winter destinations. Snow-covered forests, Arctic landscapes, and unique activities attract visitors from across the globe. While the experiences themselves are unforgettable, one key question remains for most travellers: how do you get to these activities safely and easily?
This guide highlights the top winter activities in Lapland and explains the best way to reach them — with the help of reliable local transportation like Lapland Taxis.
1. Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) Hunting
Seeing the Northern Lights is the number one reason many visitors travel to Lapland.
Where it happens:
Outside city lights
Rural roads and open landscapes
Late at night
How to get there:
A taxi is the safest option. Night-time driving on icy roads, darkness, and wildlife crossings make self-driving risky. With Lapland Taxis, you can focus on the experience while a local driver takes care of the journey.
