Ohooo..How cosy....can i join you in bed and have fun mate ?
Oooh ill watch now,Thanks Tim 😊
@@ivanreed-qj7uz😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can we see Northern light aurora with bare eyes, or only seen on camera...?
Yes, but "OMG" is not a "thank God", sadly.
Asking everyone who graces us with their visit: please remember that the whole Rovaniemi region is populated by common people just like you and me. So all the domestic animals you see belong to someone (and unless told so, are not a general attraction). The houses are homes of regular folks (both Finns and Saami). Finns respect the privacy of others so please do not go touring on the yards or such without permission! The animals, also reindeers, will get sick if you feed them. Layman's right do not extend to private properties and since it is uncommon to build big fences here, please be respectful and mindful of the fact that you might be trespassing without even realizing it. Thank you in advance and welcome to Finland. 😊
So many rules
@@norfolkreefer5801 Sadly this is due to the fact that many tourists have acted badly and the people of Lapland are tired of it. There was a big article about the issue some days ago, locals were sharing their stress concerning the matter. Some visitors act like the whole place is a sort of safari, while it certainly is not.
@@turpasauna For me it was a pleasure visiting Rovaniemi. My dream was to visit Finland since I was 13, I knew basic Suomi, and the rules are just common sence. Suomi people are the nicest, they are respectfull, they dont bother you but always helpfull. Rovaniemi is, in my eyes, the most beautifull place in Earth. I was going to move to Finland (I'm from Spain), I remember everybody thinking I was a Fin, and saying sorry, I dont speak suomi. They all smile to me and start speaking in perfect english. I ended falling in love with Icelandic people, so now I live in Reykjavik. But I still love Finland, the culture, the nature, the sauna, the lakes, and specially the music, the reindeer is just delicius... Kitos for being so awesome.
I thought the people there were paid actors not people who live there
@@turpasauna are there any places with fences where it’s easier to work it out. It sounds stressful.. where to go, or not go
The 'jewels in the headboard' actually represent the Constellation of Ursa Major (The Plough or Big Dipper). The end two stars point towards Polaris, The Pole Star.
I noticed after I edited 😂
Yes, also noticed. Showing you North (North Star)
It's also the origin of the swastika symbol.
Bear has a place in Finnish mythology and it's Finland's national animal. There's an idiom that Finns live under the North Star. One of the most significant Finnish literature works is Väinö Linna's book trilogy 'Under the North Star', which covers Finland's history from 1880 to 1950s through the lives of family Koskela. The Big Dipper is also in publishing company Otava's logo, so it's familiar sign in Finland. Bear's a sacret animal in other cultures too: "The Great Cosmic Hunt, the Oldest Story Known to Mankind".
@@luke8329 The origin of the swatiska symbol is actually the Chinese symbol for Sun. Hitler just turned it around and claimed it as his.
Your vlogging personality is the greatest there is on Internet. Never stop! :)
Wow, thank you!
This guy is really good, and i just love looking at luxury that i would never be able to afford.
24:09 They serve tiny food,
and giant spoon !!!! 😂
Always always always use a beanie when hot tubbing in the -10°C or colder temperatures! You freeze your head, lose consciousness and eventually drown. Happens more often than one would think.
@jakes4164 Whoever is hot tubbing in -10°C.
@jakes4164 not everyone wears a helmet when cycling either.
?

When its -20 here in Canada we say: "its a bit chilly today."
I will continue to live my life vicariously through you Tim! Great video yet again! ❤
You're the best!
That cost more than I expected but still very nice anyway. That bowl for the apple dessert was amazing, such a huge bowl for such a tiny pud! 😆
I know it would have gone in one mouthful
Think after that I would have been straight round to Maccy d's still hungry 🤣@@WalkWithMeTim
I’m so lucky I can see the Northern Lights from my back garden in Inverness on a regular basis and I never get bored of seeing it. The glass house looks really good actually, though a bit on the tiny side, actually same size as a regular cabin offshore on most North Sea oil platforms but much more stylish! Lol I’m also lucky I can go skiing half an hour drive from Inverness at Cairngorm Mountain resort in Aviemore
wow that's amazing
I went to the arctic circle with my mum. We saw the northern lights every night. beautiful
We stayed here 8-9th December 2023 in cabin/igloo 714, absolutely loved it and they also gave us a bottle of champagne for my 60th which was a nice touch. We had driven from Levi and drove back to Levi the next day. Amazing trip, beautiful location.
I really feel for you as this trip should have been so different, but well done for keeping smiling and getting the job done. Fantastic!
Thanks Steve
First off let me say that transition from the hot tub to going to dinner was well done. Absolutely awesome. Secondly, I’m watching the video and I’m seeing like the carousel and the snowmobiles and the lighting and it’s at night. It really struck me like something out of a novel. Maybe a fantasy novel of some sort. But it really seems so surreal. You do get to go to some of the most unique and interestingP. And I as a viewer would like to say thank you for taking us along with you. I know this is your job and how you make money. But that’s OK. It’s still awesome to be able to go along with you on these adventures. Sorry about your wife not getting to go. That guy was quite a jerk. He could’ve handled that in a much more cordial and respectful business like manner. I do believe she would’ve really loved that place. But you get her passport issue taken care of and take her there. Like I said, I think you were right. She would really enjoy that. Again, thank you for sharing and posting the video. God bless.
thanks so much for this comment! means a lot
Before I leave this Earth, I would love to see The Northern Lights before I die. This must of been so cool to be in this place. I hope to visit somewhere like this at some point in my life. Just not in a position right now to do so. For now, I can enjoy watching your videos and all the places you go!
Come to Canada
Seeing the little bed which should have been for Casper made me a bit sad 😢 fingers crossed you'll all be there together next year Tim 😊❤ xxx
I know
It was surprising to see that the non-igloo half of the "hotel" is just a very normal modern Finnish house! It looks like someone's home but then there's an igloo room when you go inside. As a Finn I kind of expected this very expensive hotel village in Rovaniemi to look a little more special 🤣Oh well, as long as it's a good experience for visitors, that's all that matters!
Here here, I expected something magical and special. Not copy paste repeat. Surely an igloo is made from ice, not another word for a conservatory!
There are awesome iglu villages in finland, maybe not in rovaniemi but i think ylläs, levi etc (big skii mountains) have like actually beatifull iglu villages and even non iglu villages 10x nicer than this for similar price
I’ve just discovered your channel today, Tim. I’m loving your content and your genuine, easy-going personality. You were born to do this! It makes me sad to read about the negative interaction you had with Cecilia from Svalbard (I’ve been following her for years). Sorry that happened to you. Anyway, keep doing what you’re doing and bringing these magnificent adventures to us here at home. Sending you love and warm wishes from Australia 🇦🇺♥️
OMG....I want an Igloo in my garden ! How fab ! What a great stream Tim🎉 ty for sharing ❄☃️
Glad you enjoyed it
Sorry that Gabby and Casper couldn't come with you like you wanted 😔. It looks really beautiful. I keep hoping to see the Northern lights myself in northern Minnesota, but so far no such luck. It's not for lack of trying, though. Minnesota normally looks like a winter wonderland this time of year, but it looks like we are heading to a drought. What snow we got last Saturday melted off entirely and it doesn't look like we are getting any more snow any time soon. The weather here is quite weird this year. Blessings!
It's a good job you go these places Tim , because i dont think the average family of 4 could afford this , how the other half live eh , looks beautiful , any child or adult who is able to visit here is beyond blessed , Thank you Tim , love your videos x
Just stumbled on your channel and one thing that is abundantly clear is that life is about genuine experiences. Thank you for reinforcing that in a day and age of instant gratification & likes. New sub!
Apparently these igloos are built in a way so you can’t see into each others glass bedrooms. Well thought out. Fascinating video as usual. Hi from Australia. 🇦🇺👋🏻
Usually the noise from the AC/heater mini split unit is due to not periodically cleaning the mold and dust from the squirrel fan that is inside, it throws the fan off balance. It is a very common issue.
You have drapes.
They should have one premium igloo that has a view to both the sky and all the other igloos. For the ultimate peekers.
Thank You for sharing Tim It’s such a shame you could not have Gaby and Casper with you. I love the snow, there is something magical about it and your glass igloo looked cosy capturing the environment outside. The main shopping area looks very Christmassy with the trees and natural snow. Hot tub was amazing outside in the snow. It’s not cheap but as you say it is Lapland. Your filming was really good as usual Tim Well Done
I stayed in one of the glass igloos at the Arctic SnowHotel in Rovaniemi in November of 2022, and it was absolutely amazing. I loved it there.
The jewelled Big Dipper in the headboard 😅
Fab vlog Tim. I'd definitely stay there...when my lottery numbers come up 😂 looks absolutely beautiful, very scenic and chrismassy 🎄 such a shame that Gaby and Casper missed out, there's always next year ❤
Absolutely ;-)
Omg I had no idea this existed! It's so beautiful ❤ (adding to my bucket list for sure) Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Tim 😊
OMG wow!!! Im soo jealous!! I love winter and snow and dark nights and hot tubs in freezing conditions and the Aurora Borealis. If I ever win the lottery I'm relocating...thanks Tim for the vlog.
what sells this place is the amount of snow, and beautiful scenery which you don't often get these days in the UK, unless you are in Scotland.
Dude, where do you get all your money lol.
Loved this video Tim. The igloos looked magic. Brought back very happy memories of two previous family holidays in Levi, Finland. Would love to go back (and stay in an igloo!)
Gorgeous! This would be my ideal holiday! Sadly I cannot afford but thanks for taking us with you Tim. I think I will be rewatching this often 😍
Tim: *stays in one of the most amazing places a person could stay*
Tim: The heater is too loud and there's no milk.
i couldn't do without milk for my tea and coffee and for the expense, the heating should just purr.
Tbf he paid a lot for it
Really colorful and far out count down!!!
Happy belated Birthday 🎂 Tim!!!!!
Across the Pond, Bill
What a great place, with all the snow sports available! It would be nice to go somewhere and be able to Enjoy the snow, instead of dealing with having to shovel it all. 😉😄 A swift kick to the Nasty dude that kept Gaby and Casper from enjoying it too! 👺
Top notch video as always Tim. Keep up the great work exploring places that many of us wouldn't have thought to go. I'm a regular visitor to Tropical Islands thanks to you and I think Lapland will be next on the agenda!
oh wow are you! I want to go back there!
Such a shame Gabby and Casper couldn't join, but it looks like you had fun! :)
I LOVE this!!! What a cool experience!!!
I really, really have a big problem with small portioned meals, especially when they cost as much as they do. It is so unecessary and a bit of a con. I think I'd probably have to pack plenty of snacks, pastries and biscuits, if I knew I was visiting somewhere like that. It looks like a lovely place, though, but a tad too expensive (and too cold) for me😊.
Morning Tim, great vlog and the trees look so beautiful with all that snow and woodlands, glass lodges look great and like that fact you can see skies at night and northern lights and hot tubs, would like to try one Day for experience, thanks for sharing,
Thanks 👍
Brilliant vlog, all looked so pretty wuth all that snow ❄️,loved the aurora sky,lucky to see that, thanks for sharing, just a shame Gaby and Casoer couldn't go too,youll have to take them next time , take Care 😊x
This looks beautiful.
This is a dream that a lot of us would love to experience 😍❤️ Lucky you to be in that place. Awesome experience for sure!
Trying to work out whether the Northern Lights or the Rocky Road hot chocolate would be my highlight! Those reverse cycle air conditioning units/heat pumps tend to rattle, the one I have at home does and what I have discovered is that the mounting can be a bit loose and it makes the internal mechanism rattle a bit. If you hold it and it stops then that seems to be the problem. Jamming a piece of paper or a bit of rubber between the bottom of the unit and the wall can quieten it. May not always work but worth carrying a bit of rubber or paper to try it.
Exceptional vlog Tim and also great information on doing Lapland on budget.Big congratulations on hitting 1 million views on the plaza vlog.. woohoo 🎉🎉🎉
I really enjoy your travel videos. You go to places that I never will and travel on airlines that are so very fancy. Thank you ❤
Awww poor Gaby and baby she would off loved it ❤❤xxxx looks lovelly
Once again I get to "go" to places I couldn't otherwise! Love It!
You are so funny describing how the small portions can be gone in two bites! I love going on your journeys with you!
It looks absolutely Christmasy there I'm going to savour every minute of your video.
This is lovely Tim. I wished Gaby and Thumps could have come to see it. They would have loved it. 👏🏻
It was a very good travel day blog today chilling out and staying in a GLass igloo in the arctic circle for the holiday vibes tim
This is on our bucket list. Thanks for the great review.
Can't wait it looks amazing hope u get to see the northern lights 😊 Happy late birthday Tim.
Really interesting! Thanks for taking us with you on your adventures. So funny that you got a HUGE spoon for your itty bitty desert!
Great vlog Tim, what a beautiful place. xx
Such a wonderful experience.
❤ stunningly beautiful and very well narrated Tim ❤ Only things missing The lovely Gabby and cute little Casper ❤
Wow looks fantastic and a whole different feeling being in the cold that we don't get to experience in the UK, - 20 temps, those igloos look nice and cosy and the restaurant area. Hope you get Gabby with you there next year in the hot tub. 😀👍
A Finnish guy here, the cold in Lapland (Inland Finland) is a bit different than in the UK, the air up here is much drier, it doesn't feel as bad as it sounds. And the houses are always warm, well insulated. For me the damp cold winter in the UK was a bit shocking at first 😁
Yep very damp here but mostly temps of about + 10c if we get an easterly wind from Scandinavia and a day time temp of say -3 it sets us all off into a panic haha @@mikrokupu
Finally caught a live! This looks cool 😎
Great video Tim, we stayed in Saariselka a couple of weeks ago so interesting to see how Rovaniemi compares. Missing waking up to the snow.. it’s such a unique feeling there isn’t it? Never experienced such fresh, clean air & miss the sound of crunching in snow boots! Will be lovely for you to take Gaby & Casper there next time . 🎄⛄️
Hello Tim, another great video,what a brilliant place to visit,to see the northern lights from the window is awesome.
Another great video Tim ! That place looks fantastic
I would have headed to McDonald's after that meal 😂
Not sure about poor old Rudolph nailed to the wall above the headboard! 🐐
The coldest night I stayed outside was 100km north from Rovaniemi. It was my military service, and we were out camping in a tent in December some years ago. It was -44°C. Had guard duty outside for an hour early in the morning, maybe 4am. Almost fell asleep because it was so serene. I was warm except for the tip of my nose. Good times. :)
Nice touch The Plough picked out in jewels on the headboard
Happy Belated Birthday 🎂 Tim xxx
Oh wow a lovely magical place, awwwww it was a pity Gaby and casper wasn’t with you, I bet casper would love all the colourful lights.
oh my gosh it looks so cool!
Love the video! Definitely a bucket list place. You mentioned you could wear your coat out to the spa as there was no where to put it. I thought I saw some hooks on the white fence behind the spa. It had a light hanging off one of the hooks.
I would love to stay there, looks such fun.
Looks fantastic thanks
Nice videos Tim. Have been enjoying all of them. The igloo is nice but a fireplace would be nice . You know the electric kind. Just an additional cozy feel.😁
I have just started following this channel. My mum & dad put me onto it. It's fab. Great way to see hotels before you book.
The sparkles on bed headboard is the big dipper!!!
Yep - Tim had no idea! 💫
How Wonderful Tim. Thank U for sharing 👍👍
You are very welcome
Brilliant video many thanks shame that Gabby and Casper missed such an amazing place incredible that you got to see the lights my son has just returned from Iceland and didn’t get to see the lights he should have gone to Lapland🤣❤️👍🏻
As always great content, Tim, shame that Gabby and Casper couldn't make it. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Great video Tim looks amazing shame Gaby and Casper couldn't make it well done xx
Thanks so much!
Was Great, darn that airline, Gabby was the most pronounced component missing w you (hot tube and the rest!) Too bad cloudy however! Stay WARM Tim!
Absolutely amazing Tim , would definitely have been lovely with Gabby but thank you Tim it was beautiful happy Christmas to you all x 🎄🤶🏻⛄️
Brilliant video Tim! ❄️
😊🎉Beautiful view from your room Tim like a perfect picture for a living room wall or you could turn into some post cards for keep sakes😊👍 **Cozy & clean glass igloo with everything you need..**Weather similar to where my hubby graniteman & I live in the not so warm Calgary Alberta Canada..🥶Definitely nice place to visit..Just too bad furry felines are not welcomed😮🤔I do get the reason why however hubby & I keep our kitties inside for thier safety because we do have alot of wildlife lurking around & now a days it's frowned upon letting domesticated kitties roam around outside..Thanks for sharing Tim & for all your helpful info much appreciated 🤩😉👍👍👍
So magical. This is on my bucket list. Traveling to Canada or Alaska would be closer for me to travel. Still going to Finland would be cool. (No pun intended). Safe travels to you.
I am envious of you sir! Lapland is on my bucket list.
❤How wonderful was that ❤
I really enjoyed the vlog🎄🎄🎄Such a pity that Gaby, Casper and Holly did not join you. I think it would be a magical place for Christmas ❤🎄❤️🎄
Excellent vid. I thought about going myself... until you announced the price. 😮
Great video as always!
About that restaurant... for me there'd be only option :P The elk fillet
One of the best spots! So beautyful...
It really is!
So fascinating loved watching the video so cool never been to lap land have to take my grandchildren my daughters they love it
Great vlog, really informative with a few decent jokes thrown in there too. Thanks Tim 👍
Glad you like them!
Can’t say I’m impressed with this one.
Ohh a fabulous place to stay Tim 😊too cold for me tho probably but definitely a magical place to be 👌👍
Thank you for showing us this!
My pleasure!
The gems on the bed are in the shape of 'The Saucepan' part of the Orion constalation. Nice touch. Great vid as usual, looks like an interesting place to visit.
When I lived in Calgary, Alberta, Canada during my teenage years, I happened to see northen lights just lying in my parents' bed one night. That was very amazing.
So magical
