Helsinki, Finland
Description
Finland is such an amazing and unique country, not only because of the picturesque woods and lakes, the Aurora Borealis and Santa, but also because of its culture of trust, the culture of drinking coffee and the large number of Finns who speak excellent English but are rather a bit shy to do so. It has long cold winters, sometimes with temperatures even below 30 in the most northern parts and a very short summer. The capital area of Finland will satisfy all your curiosities, whether you are nature lover or enjoy long strolls down the museums' lobbies...
