Best places to visit in Finland
- Helsinki: The Market Square, or Kauppatori, is the focal point of the city, where you can walk through a dizzying array of market stalls selling everything from local delicacies to tourist souvenirs. To experience the historic Finnish lifestyle you can visit Seurasaari Open-Air Museum and one of the other main landmarks is the Sibelius Monument and Park with its massive wind-driven organ pipes.
- Espoo: The second-largest city in Finland, here you can visit the Haltia Finnish Nature Centre, Nuukso National Park and the Hanaholmen Swedish-Finnish Cultural Centre. The Pentala Archipelago Museum also showcases the natural and human settlement history in the area. Another of the city’s main landmarks worth seeing is the Espoo Cathedral.
- Tampere: this is something of a museum city, with the main ones in the Vapriikki complex. They include the Doll Museum, the Media Museum and the Mineral Museum. For panoramic views over the city, you can take the lift to the top of the Pyynikki Observation Tower, and the old Tampere Cathedral is an interesting blend of Art Nouveau and Nordic romantic-style architecture.
Winter 2024 in Finland
Hire a car in winter and you’ll have many sights to see. Top of everyone’s list is to see the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, during the winter months. It’s also a great time to drive to the town of Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland in the north of Finland. Known as the Gateway to the Arctic, the snowscapes are something to behold. You can also try your hand at dog-sledging. Round off your trip with a visit to the colourful traditional village of Porvoo, dating to the 15th century.
