Finland, with its stunning landscapes, vibrant cities, and unique cultural experiences, is a must-visit destination for any traveler. If you’re planning a trip to this Northern gem, here are a few places you won’t want to miss. 

Helsinki

Finland’s capital city, Helsinki, is a vibrant blend of modernity and tradition. Your days can be full of variety: visit the iconic Helsinki Cathedral, stroll through the historic district of Suomenlinna, and pop into the contemporary design district shops.

Sauna

A sauna is a small, wooden, heated room where the temperatures range between 80°C and 100°C (176°F to 212°F). The air in the room is dry and fragrant from the wood. This is something you can do in any Finnish town. It’s a form of heat therapy that is deeply connected to Finish culture and a must-do activity. 

Rovaniemi

Known as the official hometown of Santa Claus, Rovaniemi is a very special place to visit, especially during the winter. In this winter wonderland you can enjoy activities like husky sledding and, of course, a visit to Santa himself. 

Northern Lights

If you come in winter, you’ll definitely want to plan an evening to see the Northern Lights. Nothing can compare to this natural beauty.
