Finland is a northern European country bordering the Gulf of Bothnia, the Baltic Sea, and the Gulf of Finland. It is located between Sweden, Russia, and Norway. Finland is one of the few countries ideal for witnessing the magical moment of the Aurora Borealis, also known as the northern lights. However, it offers much more than that. To enhance your travel plans to Finland, consider including places like Tampere, Helsinki, the fairytale-like Santa Claus Village in the town of Rovaniemi, Turku, the frozen forests near Oulu, Espoo, the amazing lake near the city of Lahti, Pori, Lappeenranta, Porvoo, and many more. Fishing, cruising through the Finnish fjords, dog sledding, ice hockey, curling, ice skating, hunting, skiing, unique cuisine, wild reindeer, and Santas—all this and much more await anyone traveling to Finland!
