Overview
Begin with three nights in Helsinki and time to explore Porvoo, Hamina and Kotka. Continue to Finnish Lapland for two nights near Levi and two nights in Rovaniemi.
The suggested route uses a Helsinki–Kittilä flight and two separate rental cars. Before booking, confirm that your quote lists the Helsinki rental, the domestic flight and the Kittilä–Rovaniemi rental as separate items. Arrange separately any leg missing from the quote.
In summer, explore coastal towns and forest trails. In winter, consider skiing, a snow activity or a Northern Lights outing. Activities are optional and depend on weather and availability.
