8) Finland
Travelers shouldn’t miss the adventures of Finland’s lush winter wonderland. Bordering Russia in Northern Europe, the country’s view of the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are a spectacle to behold. In fact, Hotel Kakslauttanen is an igloo village with glass domes in which guests can sleep in full view of the sky on the edge of the wilderness, giving them a unique and cozy experience. Check out the surroundings on snowshoes or skis, available for rent through the resort. To experience how the indigenous Sami people of the Lapland get around, try a reindeer sleigh ride. For an even more intense animal experience, book a husky safari and guide your own dog sled (under guidance of a professional) to a cabin in the wilderness of the Arctic Circle.
