Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Qasimi - Lapland or Lapland is the northernmost region of Finland within the Arctic Circle. It is a wonderful tourist destination, especially in December with Christmas celebrations, snowfall and scenes of Santa Claus when he rides his cart drawn by beautiful reindeer. .

Weather and best travel times

Temperatures drop dramatically and reach minus 50 degrees Celsius in the winter, and the sun sets for several consecutive days during the period of the polar night (kaamos), which lasts from December to January, and the sun does not rise at all, but the light is present from ten in the morning until Three in the afternoon.

But if you cannot bear the extreme cold, the summer is characterized by some warmth and the emergence of the midnight sun in Lapland, and temperatures can sometimes rise to 30 degrees Celsius, but the average temperature is between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius, and July is the warmest month. .

The best tourist experiences

Watching Santa Claus and herd of reindeer only happens in the Finnish Lapland region, and therefore you will be in front of a very wonderful experience during your travels. You can also enjoy riding those carriages, going on a fishing trip, and enjoying the picturesque landscapes.

Lapland is considered the last resort for the Finnish Sami people who live on reindeer herding and selling trinkets to foreign visitors. Urban places are represented by a group of villages and resorts, and only four cities are Kemi, Rovaniemi, Tornio, and Kimijjarvi.

In the face of the lack of historical places in the province due to the scorched earth policy implemented by the Germans during World War II, only 13 old houses remain standing in the capital, Rovaniemi.
