When it comes to bucket-list experiences, seeing the celestial spectacle of the Northern Lights (or aurora borealis) is a popular pick. However, it can be a tricky one to tick off. First, you’ve got to travel to the right place (typically the Nordic nations) at the right time (between September and April). Then, once there, you’ll need clear conditions, just enough solar activity and a dose of good luck.

Historically, Helsinki has often been overlooked by travellers planning a weekend away in Northern Europe, with Copenhagen and Stockholm stealing much of the limelight. But for the traveller seeking a city break off the beaten path, the capital of Finland has lots to entice you away from its Nordic neighbours. From a soothing sauna session alongside the locals to a tour of a historic UNESCO World Heritage site, there’s plenty to pack into a day in this harbourside city.
1st August 2023 - Finland 24 Hours In
Finland battles through bone-chilling winters with seemingly endless polar nights and frozen forests and lakes, meaning that when the sun does emerge above the snow and ice, Finns passionately celebrate the balmy evenings and lazy, hazy days.

Levi Igloos The Levi Igloos are located just seven miles from the bustling town of Levi and with unobstructed landscapes, glistening night skies and untamed wilderness they provide a welcome escape into Northern Finland. Four premium and fourteen superior igloos make up the resort and each boast a kitchenette, ensuite and a motorised double bed in the centre. The pise de resistance, however, has to be the insulated glass ceilings that allow guests to star gaze from the comfort of their very own bed.
