Interesting Cities for Traveling

Too often visitors to Finland only visit either the capital, Helsinki, or parts of Lapland in the very north. While this is understandable, as the capital city is bound to attract a lot of interest, and as the skiing conditions are great in the north, it is a shame because the most interesting travel destinations are found between these two places and often remain unvisited by tourists.

In this site I will attempt to display to you readers some parts of Finland that you may not find in most of the tourist guides, and where you definitely need to visit in order to live the true Finnish experience. I will also strive to display some aspects of Finnish culture which you will find intriguing if you are planning a trip to this wonderful land.

Below are just a few pictures to wet your appetite for visiting Finland and exploring this site further.
