10 Romantic Winter Tips
Picture yourselves cuddled up in a cozy cabin, watching the Northern Lights dance across the starry Arctic sky. Imagine the thrill of embarking on a reindeer sleigh ride through a pristine, snow-covered forest, hand in hand with your beloved.
Rovaniemi, The Official Hometown of Santa Claus, is the perfect destination for an enchanting romantic getaway.
1. Spend the night staring up at the stars in a glass igloo – a private cabin with a glass roof open to the sky. Maybe you’ll be lucky and catch the aurora dancing above your bed.
2. Snuggle up together in the beautifully sculpted rooms of a fairy tale snow hotel.
3. Share a kiss across the Arctic Circle. Take a trip to Santa Claus Village and you’ll find the Arctic Circle line. Stand on either side and share your love around the world.
4. While you’re at Santa Claus Village, why not pay a visit to the old man himself, and take a photo with Santa to capture the memory.
5. Can there be anything more romantic than a reindeer-driven sleigh ride or husky ride through the forest with your loved one?
6. For the hard-core romantic, how about ice floating hand-in-hand in the icy water of a river or lake? Safely wrapped in your warm dry suits, if you’re lucky you may just catch a glimpse of the northern lights.
7. For something truly unusual, try a cruise on an icebreaker. Feel the power of the ships as they clear a path through the sea ice.
8. Show your true love for each other with a professional selfie taken under the awe-inspiring Aurora Borealis.
9. Select a hand-made traditional Lapland kuksa (wooden cup) for each other with your names and the date of your trip etched into them. Or find a unique souvenir to remind you of your trip.
10. Make unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime memories at the Arctic Circle. Propose under the Northern Lights or get married in a Ice Chapel.
