Experience the summer solstice in Finland or travel through fabulous snow-covered landscapes in winter. And perhaps there will be a chance encounter with Santa Claus as he's reputed to have his home in the Finnish North ;-) And if that doesn't convince you, then surely the Northern Lights will - a natural wonder of epic scope. Not to mention Helsinki - one of Europe's coolest and most unique capital cities.
