In the crisp, clean air of the north Finland, there is a stunning array of colours. Cobalt blue lakes, lush green forests, pure white snow; Finland is a land of extreme contrasts. Its winters are icy yet, the summers are warm and golden. It boasts cutting-edge cosmopolitan cities that stand by side vast areas of pristine wilderness. If you’re after a scenic holiday, away from the traditional (and crowded) European destinations, Finland is an outstanding choice. Among the country's best tourist attractions is the Finnish Lakeland, named one of the best kept travel secrets in Europe by travel guide Lonely Planet. Rent a canoe or camp along the lakeshore and enjoy the Finnish countryside’s extraordinary natural beauty. One may even catch a glimpse of the dazzling northern lights or aurora borealis. In the stylish, cool capital Helsinki, you’ll wander the city streets and appreciate the gorgeous Art Nouveau buildings and an abundance of modern art. There are elegant cafes and restaurants to enjoy, museums to explore and the quirky charm of the entire city to revel in. show less
