Northern Lapland’s city tours cut through the tourist fluff and deliver real experiences.
Two standout services have earned my recommendation: Kittilä’s private airport transfers shine with their no-nonsense approach and those promised refreshments actually show up (a rarity in Arctic transfers).
Equally impressive is Ivalo’s center-to-airport service – punctual and reliable even in harsh conditions.
I especially love these transfers because they solve the biggest headache of Arctic travel – getting between airports and town centers efficiently.
They’re worth every euro, particularly during the winter season when public transport can be spotty.
Let’s look at the best city tours across Lapland’s main destinations.
