Finland

Europe

Currency: EUR

Language: Finnish, Swedish

Finland is forest and water: some 188,000 lakes, long Baltic archipelagos and an Arctic north where the sun does not set in midsummer or rise in midwinter. Sauna is an everyday routine rather than a spa treatment. Public transport is good between cities, but the wilderness areas need a car or a tour.

Cities

Helsinki

Helsinki is a Baltic port city of neoclassical and modernist architecture, with a market square on the water and ferries running to islands within the city limits. Design and food halls are the main draw, alongside saunas that range from historic wood-fired to new waterfront buildings. Two days covers the centre and the sea fortress.
