Sami village Sam Syyt, Lake Imandra and cozy Kirovsk

The Saami are a small Finno-Ugric people. The Scandinavians called them lappar, hence the name Lapland. Only one and a half thousand representatives of this indigenous people of Northern Europe live in the Murmansk region.
During the three-hour tour, you will take a stroll through the Sami village. You will visit traditional dwelling - plagues and kuvaks, visit idol alley and play local games. In summer, you can ride quad bikes.
The tour starts at 10:30 and includes lunch at 13:45. In the national cafe you will be treated to a traditional dish "lim" (salmon ear) with Lovozero bread and a drink "Pakula". In addition, you can order goulash with venison, salad with salmon or venison. The cost of the excursion for an adult is 1550-2050 rubles.

On the way to Kirovsk we will again pass Lake Imandra, the largest lake in Murmansk region. It is also the most picturesque. The shores of Imandra are winding and indented, there are more than 140 islands scattered along the water surface. Linger on the shore for half an hour: there is nothing but eternity around.

The first thing we will do in Kirovsk is to visit the Apatit museum and exhibition centre. The eight halls of the complex contain exhibits dedicated to the history of the city and mining operations. The museum is really interesting: beautifully illuminated minerals, animated models, fossils.
Visiting the museum is free (all of a sudden!). You can take an audio guide. Entry is strictly until 20:00, and the museum closes at 21:00.

It's dinner time and we're already at the cafe "In Your Plate", which is often referred to as the best in town. The prices here are quite adequate: you can eat herring with potatoes, taiga hodgepodge or venison roast. The most expensive dish of the restaurant is the grilled reindeer meat with Khibiny lingonberry sauce.
After dinner take a walk around the town. Maybe you will be lucky to see the polar lights. And yes, it can be observed in Khibiny at any time of the year, except for the period of the polar day and short night.

Let's finish this beautiful day at a hotel in Kirovsk. Today you can "sleep on your own"!
