Finland Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Finland.
Finland is a land of a thousand lakes and eternal forests, a land of log cabins and Orthodox churches - a midsummer’s dream in the extreme north of Europe.Helsinki, ‘The Daughter of the Baltic’, ‘The Gibraltar of the North’, a dividing line between east and west and a modern and liberal minded metropolis. Founded in 1550 by Swedish king, Gustav Vasa, as a trading centre, in 1812 Tsar Alexander The First made it the capital of the Principality Of Finland. Turku is the oldest city in Finland and is the country’s first capital city from where Finnish culture was born. It is still evocative of the Middle Ages. The sea, a magnificent island landscape and picturesque timber houses are typical of one of the oldest cities in the Gulf Of Bothnia, Uusikaupunki. It was there in 1712 that a peace treaty was signed between Russia and Sweden and this small, quiet town has a long maritime history. Further north is a town of seafarers and traders, Kokkola, of which the old town boasts the largest number of timber built houses in Finland. The cleric, Anders Chydenius, once lived here and laid the foundation of Liberalism, the freedom of both religion and trade. Oulu is the flourishing centre of Northern Finland. Along with its many green areas this city by the sea comes alive during the spring and summer months. Despite the harsh climate, tropical plants are popular in the city. The hilly landscape of the spacious Pallas Ounastunturi National Park is located in the north west, close to the Swedish border. Yellow-green reindeer moss and dense layers of many other varieties grow on the seemingly endless hills of primeval stone and gneiss. The plant life of this region always surprises those who encounter it for the first time. Finland is a country that boasts more lakes than any other. It is full of picturesque, natural beauty, unique cultural treasures and historic locations: a tranquil paradise set in the extreme north.

Locations:

KARKKU


I spent my first week in Finland at a Rotary Exchange Camp in Karkku. I was there with over 100 other exchange students. While there, I took Finnish classes, swam and rowed a boat in the river, went to sauna, and spent a lot of time getting to know the other exchange students.

We also visited the church in Karkku.


TAMPERE


We spent one afternoon at camp in Tampere. We explored the town, ate and went shopping.

There we visited the Tampere Cathedral.


KOKKOLA


I live here in Kokkola, a cute town on the west coast of Finland.

In the central part of town there are many old houses and buildings.

Kokkola Municipal Theater


Kokkola Church


The Venetian Night Celebration was on the 24th and 25th of August. It celebrates the end of summer and cottage season with music and performances in the marketplace. Many people put lights out at their cottages (or homes) so the coast is lit up for the night.


One day I went on a walk by the coast with my host family and visited Harrbåda lighthouse.


I visited a couple cute cafes on the coast with my Rotary Counselor.

Cafe Bryggan


Kahvila Saha


TANKAR


I went on a field trip to Tankar with some students doing a week long exchange with a city in China. We went on a boat out to the island where we saw the old lighthouse and church there.

KRONOBY


While driving around my host family and I stopped one day at Restaurant Hästöskatan, a seaside restaurant with a beautiful view.


KALAJOKI


I went on a school field trip with the kids in the first year of gymnasium to Pakka Adventure Park, where we climbed and swung across bridges and ziplines in a series of course strung between trees.


SEINÄJOKI


I visited Seinäjoki a couple times with my host family and to visit friends there.

I saw the Cross of the Plains church and bell tower designed by Alvar Aalto.


The Seinäjoki Public Library was also designed by Alvar Aalto.


JYVÄSKYLÄ


I visited Jyväskylä with my host mom and neighbors to help move our neighbor into the University of Jyväskylä.


We also visited the Panda Factory Outlet to buy some Panda candy.
