1. Urho Kekkonen National Park
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 175 reviews
Reviewed By Minion_adventurer - Southern Finland, Finland
As the second biggest National Park in Finland this park offers peace and tranquility just few steps from the center of Saariselkä village. You have easy walking routes coming to the border and then short and longer snowshoeing trail. Short one you can do on any weather but the longer one takes you up on the fjell so you don't want to take that in a bad weather. Skiing tracks are going more deeply inside the park. At the summer hiking routes are going everywhere.

We weren't sure what to expect but the views from these hills are absolutely stunning! Special thanks to perfect weather and golden-red-green palette of autumn! Wonderful surprise, highly recommend.
3. Sea Fortress Suomenlinna
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 8,129 reviews
Reviewed By M6281VPmarks - Scottsdale, United States
Must visit this UNESCO world heritage site of a fortress in Helsinki south harbor across several islands which was built by the Swedes in the 18th and 19th centuries to unsuccessfully prevent Russia from capturing Finland. It is a remarkable piece of engineering, architecture and history. Visit the several museums on the connected islands. There are also fortifications, barracks, residences (people live there full time), church, workshops, shops, cafes and restaurants. You will need at least half a day to visit and will take a 15 minute scenic ferry ride starting at Market Square but the ferry convenienty runs all day starting very early and ending late in the evening because people live there. Children who are into forts and guns will enjoy. Younger children will have the chance to run around to their hearts content.

The very heart of central Helsinki and a very evocative park it is. I live nearby and often pass through it on my way to the shops, or just walk down it when the weather is good. Very clean, well manicured, with lots of benches as well as frequent free musical exhibitions on the covered stage at one end.

This cathedral for me was the most beautiful architecture, the largest orthodox cathedral in Western Europe, the golden Coppola, the contrast of the red brick with the green is amazing, inside is so beautiful too.

Pretty seclusive forest park close by to Espoo. Easy to reach by public transportation, for example, train+bus from Helsinki centre. You can be a part of the guided group, but you can make it also by yourself as the walking paths are marked well, and you don't need any special skills to make the journey. There are a couple of small lakes-ponds which you can investigate by the hiring a boat and also swim in the bigger lake Siikajärvi. In the summertime, you might have a chance to collect some forest berries, Nam! There are fewer people at working days.
7. Olavinlinna Castle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 630 reviews
The building of Olavinlinna, castle of St. Olaf, began in 1475. The Danish-born founder of the castle, knight Erik Axelsson Tott, decided that a powerful fortification should be build to protect the strategically important Savo region. The castle was supposed to repel Russian attacks from the east and to guarantee the control of the Savo region for the Swedish Crown. The history of Olavinlinna is a mixture of medieval arms clashing, cannons roaring and every-day chores inside the security of the castle's thick walls. The changes in the ownership of the castle left their mark on Olavinlinna: this can be seen in the varied architecture of the castle. These days the castle's halls and rooms can be rented and used for all kinds of events.

This is a lovely, almost magical, setting for a castle in the large lake. The fort may be small but it's definitely interesting and the quality of the interior signage and renovation punches above its weight.

Lovely church that is more middle ages Anglo Saxon than typical finnish countryside church. We were lucky enough that the massive historical organ was being played as we visited... quite magical.

Have unique arctic adventures at Snow Village! Here you will see the breathtaking constructions made of snow and ice.

Or you can just marvel at the magnificent sculpture art all around the area. We are located in Western part of Finnish Lapland, in close proximity of Ylläs and Levi ski-resorts and easily reachable from the international airport of Kittilä.

Sensational ice sculptures! Excellent work of art with so many different character rooms. Ice slide was great fun! Ice bar is also worth a visit for a hot chocolate, hot berry juice or something stronger in an ice glass. Lots of photo opportunities. Well worth a visit at €16 each. We spent just over an hour here. Highly Recommended!

Awesome view from the tower!!! The café downstairs is very good with nice coffee and hot chocolate and the best munkki in the whole Finland! (You can find many different things to drink and eat as well) Besides, Pyynikki has nice places to visit around, like pyynikin uimaranta (beach), the theater etc. Definitely must visit this place!
