Perhaps you’ll venture to the Vasa Museum, the ABBA Museum, or the contemporary Fotografiska gallery.

This morning, say hej då to Stockholm as you head for Luleå, the gateway to Swedish Lapland. Board your flight to Luleå, and upon arrival, experience pure Nordic hospitality by stepping inside a lavvu, a traditional Sámi tent.

Get settled in and explore this coastal city at your leisure, perhaps taking a stroll along the harbor.

Head towards the Arctic Circle today, crossing into Finnish Lapland. In Tornio, pause to see Finland’s oldest wooden church, still in use since the 1600s. Then, continue to Kukkolankoski, where the river’s rapids sustain a centuries-old fishing tradition. See the fishing installations that line the banks and walk to a kota (wooden hut), where whitefish is grilled over an open fire.

Later, arrive in Rovaniemi, the official hometown of Santa Claus.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Begin the day with a short sightseeing tour of Harstad, a coastal town shaped by fishing, oil, and military history.
