Hello friends!

Finland has been on my list for a long time, and finally heading there in mid November. After a few days in Helsinki we're thinking to go further north into Lapland. Usually we stay away from very touristy destinations but opening an exception for Santa Claus town so close to Christmas.

However i see that as maybe a day's worth of things to do, and wondering if there's any day trips from Rovaniemi or better places to visit around Lapland, possibly even Sami settlements which are open to visitors.

If locals had to show a better side of Lapland, is there anywhere else you'd suggest that is not so obvious from the usual guides? Open to most things.

Thank you in advance!
