Small and remote, Finland is the country that has it all. Between Sweden and Russia it combines influences and styles from both cultures while its wildlife fascinates with its pristine forests, deep blue lakes and vast icy tundra! From cosmopolitan Helsinki to the forests of the Karelia region and from the Thousand Lakes region of the north to Rovaniemi, Santa's hometown, Finland is an impressive nature destination. Although socially and economically one of the most advanced countries, there are parts of it that remain distant and unspoiled. The capital, modern Helsinki, is a city full of parks, lakes, bridges and canals. Its impressive neoclassical buildings coexist harmoniously with modern constructions, as it is considered the country that pioneers in design internationally. Ideal in spring and summer, stroll along Esplanade Avenue with its art galleries for a few moments of relaxation in the cafes and parks. This season is also great for excursions to the lake areas, Mikkeli and Lappeenranta, two of the most beautiful places in the country. In winter, again, the scene changes completely because of Christmas! In Rovaniemi, the cultural capital of the Lapland region and home of Santa Claus you will feel like a child and you will find many museums, research centers and Korundi, the house of culture, which also houses the Art Museum. Experience the Midnight Sun during the summer solstice and the Arctic winter night and look for the northern lights to admire this unique phenomenon. Then enjoy local dishes with reindeer and more in wooden huts by the fireplace. Extreme and unexplored, Finland is an ideal destination for lovers of adventure and surprises, a travel experience that will be unforgettable!
