Experiences when traveling to Lapland, the homeland of Santa Claus in Finland

Do I need a visa to travel to Finland?

If you are a Vietnamese citizen, you will need to apply for a Schengen visa to enter Finland. A Schengen visa allows you to travel freely within the Schengen countries, including Finland. Visa applications usually include documents such as a visa application, passport, travel insurance, detailed itinerary and return air tickets. You should apply for a visa at least 4 - 6 weeks in advance to ensure processing time.

When should I travel to Lapland, Finland?

The best time to travel to Lapland is usually from November to March, when the winter landscape is covered in white snow, and there is a chance to admire the aurora borealis. Winter in Lapland is the time when you can participate in activities such as skiing, driving sleds pulled by huskies, or hunting for the northern lights. In addition, in the summer from June to August, you can also experience the white nights - days when the sun shines until midnight, also known as "the place where the light never goes out", which creates a very special mysterious feeling.

How should I prepare my clothes?

Clothing is an important factor when traveling to Lapland. You should choose thermal clothing, a warm inner layer and a thick windproof jacket on the outside. Gloves, woolen hats, scarves and non-slip shoes are indispensable items. Wearing many thin layers of clothing is also a way to keep you warm better and easily adjust your body temperature when the weather changes. A specialized ski suit will be very useful if you participate in outdoor activities such as skiing or snowmobiling.
