When the nights are long in Finland there's much more to do than huddle inside with a vodka or two. You can ski across vast frozen lakes or relax in a sauna, beating yourself with a fragrant branch of birch leaves to enliven the senses. During the months of the midnight sun, coastal regions, including the Turku archipelago and land Islands, are a sailing and fishing paradise. Inland, the largest unspoilt wilderness in Europe attracts thousands of visitors every year.
In the south the capital Helsinki 'The Daughter of the Baltic' has over 30 art galleries and museums to explore, while in the north Santa Claus kicks back 364 days a year. In the summer months, open air folk dancing and concerts in the park are some of the attractions in Helsinki. The nightlife here will not disappoint there's a wide choice of bars, cafes and restaurants.
