Finland

Finland –

An adventurer’s paradise

As the cold sets in, the country is blanketed in snow, transforming the landscape into a Winter Wonderland.

Meet Santa Claus himself on a visit to Finnish Lapland. Whizz through snow-capped forests on a reindeer or husky sled and go in search of the Northern Lights.

Depending on when you visit, the Finland you encounter will be very different.

In summer, towering forests, picture-perfect lakes and waterside cottages, offer plenty of opportunities for hiking, canoeing and idyllic contemplation.

In a nutshell, this is a destination for all seasons.

The capital, Helsinki, has a vibe as cool and stylish as its architecture. As a hub for creativity and design, the Design District is filled with workshops and galleries like the Design Museum. And it has countless restaurants and bars.
