Plan your trip

A destination for every season

Winter, roughly December to March, is the season for snow, though December days are very short. Northern lights can be seen from about late August to early April whenever the sky is dark and clear, so autumn works too. Around midsummer the sun barely sets.

Sources and method

Durable access facts come from operator and tourism-authority information. Journey times, transfers and prices are calculated by Routavio's route engine from operator timetables and flight data and refreshed nightly. An airport marked "not verified" is geographically plausible but Routavio has not yet confirmed a public-transport route from it.

Routavio lists an airport when the ground leg from it is within 300 km in a straight line, the limit it uses for a last-mile transfer.
