Lapland Holidays

In just over three hours from Dublin airport, you and your family will find yourselves right in the heart of Lapland’s festive scene. There are no skyscrapers here in northern Finland, just cosy log cabins and plenty of wildlife, like reindeer. There’s more reindeer living in Lapland than people. For an extra special getaway, you can book a Christmas visit, spending the big day in the real winter wonderland. It’s a great way for the entire family to really get into the Christmas spirit.

If you’re travelling with children, meeting the big man himself will likely be at the top of their to-do list. The good news is that Santa makes sure he has plenty of time in his busy schedule to meet the kids. Meet and greets may be the highlight of the trip, but there are lots of other great activities for children. Festive stories around the fireside and reindeer spotting are just some of the fun options.

Lapland is a popular family destination thanks to its Christmassy scene, but it also has plenty to offer adults looking to try some thrilling winter sports. The high snowfall in northern Finland makes this a great place to try your hand at snowmobiling, and other action-packed activities like skiing, ice karting, and snowshoe trips. And at the end of the day, you’ll find plenty of friendly, welcoming bars in the village of Levi which is Lapland’s most lively nightlife hotspot with a big apres-ski scene.
