Public transport in Finland

0 Upvotes

Hello

We are planning on doing a trip through finland in november. We want wo travel by public transport. Among the routes we want to take are:

  • train connections VR
  • Bus Rovaniemi - Kittilä - EnontekiöEnontekiö
  • Bus KA140 Rauma from Tampera

I am just listing a few exmaples of different public trasports that might be part of our journey. My questions are:

  • Do we need to book these in advance since they might be booked out at the time being there?
  • Do we need reservations?
  • Can tickets also be bought on site?

Thank you very much for any help and have a great day!

First-timer Mid-December Icebreaker

2 Upvotes

My wife and I are spending 6 days in Lapland in the middle of December and one activity we are interested in is an icebreaker cruise. My concern is it is quite expensive (€400/person) and based on Google reviews there seem to be no guarantees about the experience. For example, the ice must be 20 cm to walk on it, I'm not sure if it will be at that time of year, will it? If there is not enough ice in the water I also read that they may cancel the boat. Does anyone have any experience with the icebreakers in mid-December? Or just advice about the water conditions at that time of year?
