The Place

If you’ve ever wondered which places in the world have the best fish, then you may want to travel to Finland. Go to the fresh fish market in Helsinki and pick from a variety of sea creatures or just hop on a boat and cast your lure into the Baltic Sea. You can also spend an afternoon checking out the fortress on Suomenlinna Island, go dancing at Tangomarkkinar, discover the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki, or experience the ballet and opera performances at the internationally renowned Finnish Opera House.
