The cathedrals were built when Finland was a part of Russia, and they have become the landmarks of Helsinki. Next, we will walk around the Kauppatori Market, offering everything from local produce to souvenirs. Kauppatori makes the city more vibrant. The last stop of our city tour will be Sibelius Park. In the heart of the park sits the monument of Sibelius, a renowned Finnish composer who helped Finland to get the national identity.

DAY 3 - HIKING

Although the Arctic is known for harsh winter climate, it is full of green and flourishing forests during the summers. While hiking, we will be gathering berries and mushrooms. Handpicked directly from the forest, the berries and the mushrooms are the freshest. Eat them while you are picking them or enjoy them with a barbeque lunch. Once well-fed, we will head to the lakeside sauna to view the midnight sun. We all deserve a wonderful vacation in paradise.

The reindeers roam freely during the winter, and they return to their farms during the summer. The tourists visit the reindeer farms and the husky farms to meet and feed these animals.
The day trip continues with a tour of the city. Let us visit the Northern Lights Church, the Rovaniemi Church, which is the largest church in Rovaniemi.
