Helsinki is a modern European cultural city whose urban cosmopolitan lifestyle exists in perfect harmony with nature. Surrounded by the sea and its own exotic archipelago, Helsinki offers visitors an endless number of possibilities. Throughout its history, Helsinki has existed in the crosscurrents of the East and West. The colorful layers of history can be seen everywhere; a walking tour of the city center, or of the magnificent Suomenlinna Maritime Fortress will open your eyes to a fascinating past. Its modern architecture, cutting-edge design and high-technology have attracted international recognition for the city and made it the style city of Scandinavia. By evening, get ready for a comfortable overnight journey to Lapland by Santa Express train. Day 3: Morning arrive in Rovaniemi and transfer to hotel. After checking in at the hotel, transfer to Napapiiri Santa Claus Village. Discover the land of Santa who lives on the Arctic Circle in Rovaniemi for numerous reasons. First of all, elves could not permanently live south of Arctic Circle - there would simply not be enough snow! Reindeer also require Lapland’s Arctic nature and snowy winters. The Arctic Circle is also the perfect place for Santa Claus to admire the midnight sun in summertime and the northern lights in wintertime. Spend time in discovering his Post Office where he replies to children and take pictures and shop for exclusive souvenirs. By evening return to Rovaniemi and discover the "Lordi Square" and charm of this small town designed by the famous Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. Day 4: After breakfast, transfer to Rovaniemi airport for onward flight to Vantaa, Helsinki airport and your onward destination. Notes: Price Includes:
