Once you arrive in Helsinki, head to the harborside Market Square before it gets too hot.

Rovaniemi & Santa's Village
Welcome to the Arctic Circle and Rovaniemi, Santa's official hometown. Get to Santa Claus Village early to beat the crowds.

The journey to North Cape takes you into Norway's dramatic landscapes. Stop in Honningsvåg, Europe's northernmost mainland point. If weather permits, take the Arctic cruise. In Tromsø, you'll see the midnight sun in summer or northern lights in winter. Get the best city views from Mount Storsteinen by cable car, but book ahead in peak season.

Lofoten Islands
The drive to the Lofoten Islands offers stunning views at every turn. Stay in Svolvær and look for the distinctive "Svolvær Goat" mountain peak.
