Levi is in Lapland, in Finland, situated 170km north of the Arctic Circle and Rovaniemi. I visited in April, when the skies were blue, the sun set at around 8:30pm and the ground was covered in snow. The perfect time to visit Levi, if you ask me.

This article will help you plan your trip by showing you all the best things to do in Levi, Lapland. Expect the best restaurants, places to stay, and Levi activities to make your trip the best it can be. 

Levi in Lapland

I was in Levi for three days, to experience as much as possible. I’d come from Yllas, just an hour away, where I had a brilliant three days exploring everything there was to do there.

Levi is probably the most well known of the Finnish resorts for the Brits, mainly because of all the children’s Christmas experiences marketed here. Levi is often where you’ll go to ‘meet Santa’.

It’s not just a Christmassy resort though. There are a wide range of winter and summer activities to do in Levi. From snowmobiles to husky and reindeer safaris, hiking, canoeing and cycling.

We only had 3 days there but I wanted to share some of my favourite activities in Levi Lapland, to maybe inspire you to go in the future.

1. Check out the Levi Igloos

Our first stop on our tour of Levi, was the Levi Igloos , Golden Crown. There are some incredible hotels in Levi, and these are the kinda places you see on Instagram. It would’ve been amazing to stay here but I’m guessing it was the price that put an end to that on this press trip.

The igloos are pure luxury.

If you were proposing abroad, the Golden Crown Levin Igluts would be the sort of place to do it. In fact, we saw someone do just that when we arrived.

The igloos were like self contained flats, with their own bathroom and kitchenette so you needn’t leave and could just lie and watch the Northern Lights, hopefully. Does that sound like one of the dreamiest things to do in Levi or what?

Restaurant at Levi Igloos

There was a really nice restaurant on site too, so if you don’t want to / can’t afford to, stay, then you can still enjoy a tasty Finnish meal in luxurious surroundings.

The Levi Igloos are just a short ride outside of Levi Lapland.
