FINLAND


Finland is a European country that is borded by Sweden in the west, Norway to the north, Russia to the east and Estonia to the south and is a country woth visiting.

NORTHERN LIGHTS
The most amazing natural phenomenon, the Northern lights, takes place there and it's something really unique. The thrill of witnessing the Aurora Borealis is, for a lot of people, an one in lifetime experience. The dancing of those lights up in the sky will leave you amazed.


 FOODS
In Finland, you can taste anything you want nowadays, although some finnish foods like Karjalanpiirakka (pastries), Korvapuusti (the translation may be sapped ears, but in fact they are delicious cinammon buns), Mustikkapiirakka (along with other berrie-pies) are worthy your time.


DESIGN
 Another thing that you will surely love about Filand is the Finnish design that literally follows you constantly everywhere and you cannot forget it even when you're gone. The main characteristic of this country is nature, many lakes and many forests at the same time. So, the big inspiration there is nature. Finns, have found a way to co-operate in peace with it and I think that's what make their design so unique. As the famous Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto once said:
  • Nothing is ever reborn but neither does it totally disappear. And that which has once been born, will always reappear in a new form.


LANDSCAPES
 
Nature plays a big role in Finnish landscapes and one visit can stay in your heart forever. Places like Ytö island, the village of saramo, Kilpisjärvi etc will take your breath away


MUSIC
 
And last but not least the famous heavy metal finnish bands like Nightwish, Apocalyptica, The Rasmus and HIM are a good reason to visit this country.
