All sights →
Aavasaksa Hill
Finland · Lapland · Ylitornio
The southernmost point in Finland where the midnight sun is visible — a modest hill on the Torne River, at the Swedish border, that has drawn visitors for the summer solstice since the 18th century.
Lake Inari
Finland · Lapland · Inari
Finland's third largest lake — 1,040 km² of open water, 3,000 islands, and sacred Sami fishing grounds. In the right light and season, one of the most otherworldly landscapes in northern Europe.
Lemmenjoki National Park
Finland · Lapland · Njurgulahti
Europe's largest national park — 2,850 km² of untouched river valley, ancient forests, and open fells. For over a century, gold panners have worked Lemmenjoki's rivers, and a handful still do today.
