Hiking, canoeing and kayaking, as well as ski resorts, make Finland a haven for adventure lovers! But the country has much to delight those more interested in culture, such as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki or Old Rauma, which is the UNESCO-listed wooden city center of the town of Rauma. And, of course, you can bring childhood dreams to life with a visit to the magical Lapland!
Finland is world famous because of its magnificent natural wonders: much of the landscape is a blue labyrinth of lakes, islands, rivers and canals, interspersed with forests and ridges, stretching for hundreds of kilometres, creating a fairy-tale setting. In fact, the Finnish Lakeland is the perfect haven for walkers, cyclists and sports enthusiasts.
Ice fishing, and husky and reindeer sledging are very authentic experiences particularly interconnected with the local Finnish identity. Indeed, Finland offers a variety of exciting outdoor activities, such as cross-country skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, ice sledging, ice skating and, for the truly brave and foolish, ice swimming!
Helsinki, the capital, is the perfect combination of forest, sea, islands and vibrant culture, and we also highly recommend taking a multi-sensory journey to discover the secrets of the Elves and the magic of Christmas in Lapland!
