Stay in a Glass Hotel in Finland and Enter a Winter Wonderland

Lapland, Finland, is located in the Arctic Circle. It is one of the best places in the world to see the aurora borealis and a popular winter destination in Europe. The snow season here lasts for more than half a year, and the Finns have developed many luxurious winter vacation activities. I visited Lapland for the first time in winter and stayed at the Seaside Glass Villas at the Kemi Snow Castle on the first day. The villas are located along the coast, and the glass walls offer a panoramic view of the snowy sea. If you're lucky, you can see the aurora borealis from your bed. The villas are ingeniously designed and were named the "World's Best Luxury Hotel" in 2017 and 2018. The Snow Castle is not to be missed. It was built in 1996 as a gift from Kemi and UNICEF to children around the world, and it attracted 300,000 visitors when it first opened. The castle covers an area of 13,000 to 20,000 square meters and is designed with a different theme each year. It has an ice bar, restaurant, church, guest rooms, traditional sauna, and various ice sculpture exhibitions. In Lapland, winter experiences are everywhere. Stay at the Snow Castle, where everything from the cups to the rooms is made of ice. The ice beds are covered with reindeer skins and sleeping bags, and you can enjoy an unforgettable night in an igloo. The ice restaurant is surrounded by ice walls, and you can enjoy delicious food on ice tables and chairs. Lapland, Finland, truly allows visitors to experience the charm of winter travel in the Arctic Circle.
