Being one of the most northerly countries in the world and the ‘official’ home of Santa Claus, you will definitely need to pack your warm clothes to travel here, but it will be worth the experience. Why not travel to the Arctic Circle to witness the most amazing light spectacle known as the Aurora Borealis, a completely natural phenomenon it will have you mesmerised. If you visit during the months of June and July, you will find out why it is sometimes known as the ‘Land of the Midnight Sun’ as the sun will not drop below the horizon. With absolutely stunning scenery it is often also referred to as the ‘Land of a Thousand Lakes’, but in truth it has more lakes than any other country on earth with an incredible 188,000 in total!
