The picturesque and sparkling capital of Finland is very affluent with fabulous tourist attractions, fascinating theaters, wonderful museums, deluxe restaurants with high quality service of both traditional and international cuisine and spectacular gardens.

Sometimes on special days they organize various dance parties where you can meet new people and spend your time on the crystal rink.
Ice swimming is another crazy and funny activity you should try in the Finnish warm capital. If you want to try this, put on special sandals not to freeze in water. Experienced ones swim as much as possible, newbies try to get out from water as soon as they can. Ice swimming improves blood circulation making feel fresh and alive. Don’t worry about the cold, because afterwards you will be offered warm sauna.
In cold winter we all need a warm and friendly place to relax, drink, talk or just meet new people. Bar and café culture in Helsinki is very common and Finns like spending their evenings in different cafes with friends. Numerous parties gather families together to drink hot chocolate and discuss Christmas preparations.
During December, Helsinki embellished with thousands of lights, is preparing for the most magical celebration in the world — Christmas. Take your time and go shopping in Christmas Markets, which offer a range of various Christmas items and gifts. There are very nice labyrinths of tunnels for cars and these tunnels make possible to get under the center from one shopping market to the other without getting cold in snowy or rainy weather.
And lastly, even if you visit Finland in cold December, you will find a BIG piece of warmth and love in this friendly and lovely country, where everyone is happy to welcome you. Finland in December is the place sure to make your time incredible and amazing; you’ll cherish it forever.
