Frequently asked questions about hostels in Lapland

  • What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit in Lapland, Finland?

    For budget-conscious travellers, exploring Lapland's natural beauty is the best option. Hiking in Oulanka National Park's stunning scenery, with its impressive river canyons and ancient forests, is free. Similarly, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing on marked trails throughout Lapland is often free or very inexpensive, requiring only the rental of equipment. Many smaller, local museums offer lower admission fees than the larger, more well-known ones. Consider visiting a local church or chapel; many are architecturally interesting and offer a glimpse into Lapland's history and culture at no cost.
  • What are the best hostels in Lapland?

    Among the hostels in Lapland, Wherever Mini Hostel, Hostel Café Koti and Villa Kemi are the most popular ones.

  • What are some unmissable, lesser-known spots in Lapland, Finland?

    While the Northern Lights are a major draw, consider visiting the less-frequented Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, known for its diverse landscapes and excellent hiking trails. The village of Nellim, near the Russian border, offers a tranquil escape and opportunities for wilderness experiences. For a unique cultural experience, explore the Sami village of Inari, learning about Sami culture and traditions away from the typical tourist crowds. The Korouoma Canyon, with its frozen waterfalls in winter, is another hidden gem.

    Lapland's nightlife is generally more low-key than in larger cities. Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland, has a few bars and pubs offering a relaxed atmosphere. Many hotels have bars, and some restaurants offer live music occasionally. Expect a more relaxed and less intense nightlife scene than in other parts of Europe.

  • What’s the ideal length of stay to get a full experience of Lapland, Finland?

    The best pet friendly hostels in Lapland are Wherever Mini Hostel, Hostel Café Koti and Villa Kemi.

  • Does Lapland, Finland offer any iconic natural events?

You can find these offered through various tour operators and local communities, particularly in areas with significant Sami populations like Inari.
  • How can you dive deeper into the culture and connect with locals in Lapland, Finland?

    Staying in smaller, family-run hotels or guesthouses provides more opportunities for interaction with locals. Participating in local events and markets allows for informal conversations. Taking a guided tour focused on Sami culture, or visiting a Sami village, offers opportunities to learn directly from the Sami people. Learning a few basic Finnish phrases is always appreciated.
  • Which restaurants and bars in Lapland, Finland offer the best local cuisine?

    Many restaurants in Rovaniemi and other towns offer traditional Lappish dishes. Look for restaurants specialising in reindeer meat, salmon, and cloudberries. Smaller restaurants and cafes outside the main tourist areas often offer more authentic and less expensive meals. Ask locals for recommendations; they'll often be able to point you towards hidden culinary gems.
