Sea Lapland is a great shopping destination. The annual retail value is 600 million euros, so there are sure to be shops for every need. Shopping, especially across the border in twin city TornioHaparanda, is fascinating both from Sweden to Finland and from Finland to Sweden, where changing currency is not a problem. Prices are usually quoted in both euros and in Swedish crowns. In the center of Kemi, it is worth walking to explore the wonderful shops and there are several car dealerships in Keminmaa. Below we present a few shopping places in Sea Lapland in more detail.
On the Border / Rajalla på Gränsen Shopping Center
One of Lapland’s largest shopping centers, Rajalla på Gränsen, that is “On the border” in Finnish and Swedish, offers excellent shopping opportunities in the heart of the twin cities of Tornio and Haparanda. The Finnish-Swedish border is located right next to the entrance to the shopping center on Victoria Square, named after the Swedish princess.

IKEA
The IKEA department store is located in Haparanda, very close to the Finnish-Swedish border. It is the northernmost IKEA in both Finland and Sweden and a good reason for many to travel to Sea Lapland. Please take plenty of time to visit, so you have time to get around the department store and then enjoy the rest of Sea Lapland’s offer: the culture and nature. We definitely recommend staying the night in Sea Lapland on an IKEA trip! Norrskensvägen 2, 953 36 Haparanda
