Finnish Lapland Autumn: 7 Days 6 Nights of Helsinki, Santa Claus Village & a Glass Igloo

Finland in autumn, from the capital to the Arctic. This tour combines Helsinki, a day trip to medieval Tallinn, Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi and a night in a glass igloo at Kakslauttanen, with two guided Northern Lights chases. It suits families with children, couples and first-time visitors to the Nordics who want a gentle, well-paced trip, with 3 to 4-star hotels and private airport transfers.

Rovaniemi is the one children talk about. A train takes you north to the official hometown of Santa Claus, where you cross the Arctic Circle, meet Santa in his village and visit his reindeer farm. In the evening, a guide takes you out of town to look for the aurora. Don’t miss the last night: a heated glass igloo at Kakslauttanen, deep in Lapland, where you can watch for the Northern Lights without leaving your bed.

Helsinki and Tallinn make the start of the trip: a panorama tour of the Finnish capital, then a ferry across the Gulf of Finland for a guided walk through Tallinn’s cobbled Old Town.

Why go now? Autumn is a quiet secret in Lapland: the forests turn gold and red in September, the dark skies return, and the Northern Lights season is already under way — before the winter crowds and prices. October and November dates also fit the Diwali school holidays. Finland and Estonia are Schengen countries — our team arranges your Schengen visa along with the tour. Travelling as a couple?

Good to know: Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and no one can guarantee them; the two chases are on different nights for a better chance. The excursions are scheduled small-group tours. For a custom private package — your own dates, private vehicle and guide, upgraded hotels — please contact our team for a personalised quote. Breakfast is included daily, plus dinner at Kakslauttanen. Flights from India and your flight home from Lapland (Ivalo) are booked separately — our team can book them for you, from any Indian city. Autumn evenings are cold, so pack warm layers, a hat and gloves. Prices from €2,145 per person (about ₹2,36,000) on twin sharing, excluding GST and TCS. Final prices are recalculated for your exact travel dates and season.
