From the seaside sauna experience to the calm of Nuuksio National Park, where forests, lakes and gentle trails offer a peaceful escape near the city in the most beautiful time of the year. Along the way, meet local nature-focused service providers who bring the park’s stories to life, and enjoy Finnish happiness by an open fire.
