Get first-hand access to Sami handicrafts and capture a picture with Lapland's most iconic creature, the reindeer.

Hop aboard a comfortable and climate-controlled bus at your hotel in Abisko or Björkliden and relax on the scenic drive through the wilderness to the Márkanbáiki museum in Kiruna. Learn about the modern lifestyle of the Sami people, reindeer herding, and discover cultural expressions such as art and poetry.
