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.
