Finland lies in North Europe, bordered by the countries of Russia and Sweden to the east and west respectively. The beauty of Finland lies in its romantic wilderness – like a thousand picturesque lakes and rivers dots a landscape that is lush with thick forests. Hiking, canoeing, and kayaking, as well as ski resorts, make the place a heaven for adventure lovers. Yet its cities are chic and alive with musical performances and world-class designs and architecture. The ultimate appeal to the avid traveler is its saunas, cottage homes, wood chopping locals topped by sausage eating, and beer drinking.
