Covid-19 & Travel to Lapland

The Finnish Government has decided to extend travel restrictions until 17th of April 2021. A negative test result, proof of having previously had COVID-19 disease or a certificate of vaccination alone does not entitle a foreign national to enter Finland. Please take this into consideration if you plan to travel to Lapland in the near future and see guidelines of Finnish Border for more detailed information.

There are local recommendations and restrictions on public life, including restaurants, amusement parks, recreational facilities and sports competitions that may affect opening hours and customer seats.
