Muonio
On one of the mornings of our vacation, we visited Muonio äkäslompolo located about 55 kms north. The purpose was to buy some whiskey in a supermarket. In this repcto you should know that in all Scandinavian countries, stores or supermarkets that sell alcohol only sell a certain amount. If you want to buy beer or liquor, you have to do so in some special shops that are controlled by the government. They are called alcohol shops and their prices are incredibly high. For example here in Spain a JB bottle costs around 13 euros and in Scandinavia, it is about 23 or 25. These stores are not in many towns.
After making the purchases, we went to visit the KIELA NATURIUM in which you can see something of the life of Sami and attend a 3D projection where you can see various formations of northern lights. For those who have not had the opportunity to watch them live and direct, this film is quite worth seeing. The ticket price in 2006 was 10 euros for adults and 6 for children.
