Finland is a winter wonderland, with millions visiting the country every year in the hope they can tick a few things off their bucket lists. In the north of the country, you can visit Santa Claus and his reindeer in Lapland while exploring the northern lights and the scenic beauty of the Arctic Circle. In the capital, Helsinki, you can explore many great restaurants and bars. The country also has a bustling live music scene, especially if you’re into rock and metal music, as it’s one of the most popular genres here.
With these things in mind, it’s no wonder that so many thousands of travelers visit the country every week, with the majority coming from one of the following neighboring nations:
The border between Finland and Sweden is mostly water, and the bulk of that is formed by the Gulf of Bothnia.
