Despite coming from Sweden, a neighboring country to Finland, and despite the fact that they even speak Swedish as a second language and that the country was once part of Sweden – I never had any real plans on visiting Finland.
It seemed like a beautiful country, and the thought of visiting northern Finland and go dog sledding would be an experience of a life-time, but it also seemed so… distant…

We hope you enjoyed our Helsinki video – this is the LAST video from our Europe Train Challenge, but stay tuned for next week when we continue onto Estonia and explore more of Eastern Europe.

A great end to the Train Challenge! Congrats you two!
Hey Brock – thanks
it was a really great challenge, exhausting 75 days but heaps of fun!
I’ve in Helsinki en August and I think we did the same tours. But I must confess that after spending a week in Sweden, Helsinki ended up being boring… That’s because I really fell in love with Sweden.
hehe I can understand that a bit – Sweden has so many wonderful things to offer as well
if I had to pick, I would also prefer spending more time traveling in Sweden.
Very nice. I spent a weekend in Helsinki back in 2009 when the city was empty, beginning of April. Did you stop by the Sibellius monument? Eat some reindeer? I think it’s a great little city for a weekend.
Great i really want to get an international
holiday packages to Finland.
Awesome!
