The best Map of Finnish Lapland, places to see, all the activities

Want to discover Finnish Lapland stress-free, with all the info you need? Good news: I’ve created a free interactive map for you, so you can see, choose, plan – and above all have fun!

It’s available here: Google Maps “Finnish Lapland”.

In this article, I’ll explain how to use it, what it contains, and how to make the most of your trip to the land of northern lights, reindeer and wide white spaces. Here we go!

• for the moment, the details in the map are in French, but the English version should be released soon ! But even if you don’t speak French, you can easily understand and choose your activities and places to see

When you head off to Finnish Lapland, you often wonder where to start, which are the best places to stay, which accommodation to choose… but above all, what activities to do and with whom!

In order to make your life easier (and mine too, for that matter), I’ve put together a map :

• the best places to visit
• the accommodations I’ve spotted or specially thought of (chalets, lodges, forest cabins), as well as glass igloos, those crazy accommodations for watching the Northern Lights
• all the top activities (dog sledding, snowmobiling, reindeer farms…) and service providers, large and small, there’s something for everyone!
• the best northern lights agencies by city
• practical services, airports, car rental services
• and much, much more!

In short, all this so that you have a single, clear, visual aid to prepare your stay, without scattering information all over the place.

As I find them super practical, these interactive maps are a concept I’m trying to develop as much as possible. It really helps you plan and optimize your trip, even when you’re already on the road. At least it works for me! So I hope it works for you too 😀

Finnish Lapland really is a vast territory, but one with many possibilities! This map should give you a clearer idea. But it’s not possible to see everything, especially as many places look the same. The best way to visit is to land in one place, then wander around and enjoy the activities. Renting a car is a good idea, but not necessarily essential if you have activities planned!
