The next morning, transfer to the airport for your flight to Ivalo, nestled in the heart of Finnish Lapland. On arrival, take an orientation tour of the village.

Have lunch at a local restaurant before continuing the journey. Then, travel back in time and explore the rich history of Kirkenes, a town that played a pivotal role during World War II. Its strategic location near the Russian border, made it a key German stronghold, resulting in over 300 Soviet air raids.
