Day 2 STOCKHOLM - LULEA
Breakfast and proceed for city tour of Stockholm, built on 14 islands and connected by 57 bridges, exudes a unique charm in its combination of 13th century Old Town with modern high-tech architecture. Stockholm’s Islands are bordered by Lake Mälaren in the west and the Baltic Sea in the east, where the archipelago with its 30,000 islands awaits exploration. It is not surprising that the city has earned the nickname “Beauty on Water”. Renowned for its beauty, Stockholm is also the hub of the Baltic area with easy access to the Nordic capitals as well as the Baltic countries. The capital is a big city with a small town personality. With its handy size and short walking distances, it is easy to cover a lot in a short amount of time. The sightseeing tour includes outside visits to the Old Town and the City Hall with its blue and golden halls known for hosting the Nobel festivities. Discover a city of contrasts. Go back 750 years in time and feel the medieval atmosphere as you wander the narrow and cobbled streets of Old Town, or as the locals say “Gamla Stan”. During our stroll through Old Town, we will pass by the 700-year-old Cathedral of Stockholm, seat of the archbishop, while also getting a chance to see Stortorget, where the Stockholm Blood Bath took place. Transfer to airport for your flight to Lulea and upon arrival transfer to your 4*Elite Stadshotellet Lulea or similar for check in.

DAY 5 Rovaniemi - Finnish Lapland - Oulu
Breakfast and today visit the Reindeer Farm including Reindeer sledge, driving license and the Arctic crossing certificate. Lunch including soup, meatballs, berry pie, coffee and berry juice. Drive to Ranua to visit the Zoo. Arctic animals live in the animal park, a total of about 50 northern and arctic animal species and slightly more than 150 individual animals. Well-being is one of the central values of Ranua Zoo and we want to act responsibly. Most of our residents were born in shelter conditions here or in other zoos, and are used to the presence of humans - still we ask all our visitors to respect the peace of the animals in their own home, and to behave calmly near the enclosures. Our animal park is home to the only polar bear in Finland, and we also have wolves, lynxes, wolverines, brown bears, polecats, owls, moose, reindeer, otters and much more!

The animals have spacious enclosures in the middle of the forest, which resemble their natural habitat. Fences also provide animals with hiding places and opportunities for choice; sometimes animals want to be alone, eat or sleep, and other times they want to observe their surroundings or play - either alone or together. Be patient and wait quietly by the enclosures to see the animals. If the enclosure seems quiet, it’s worth coming again after a while; the animals may be eating or napping. Dinner and overnight at The 4* Sokos Hotel Arina or similar.
