Where to go for weekends and holidays to a resident of Murmansk? In winter there is the Snow Village and Kirovsk. Someone chooses a trip to Finland or to Kirkenes. But we have a special and unusual place on the Kola Peninsula – the Saami village just 110 kilometers from Murmansk. A place is amazing! This place is called “Sam Siyt”, which means “Saami village”. The Saami (or Sami or Lopari) are the indigenous people of the Murmansk region, as well as northern Norway, Sweden and Finland. If our northern neighbors have a tourist industry that has long ago put on the flow the notion of ethnotourism, then this is not so widely developed in our country. And it’s also a great idea for a weekend trip!
