Helsinki, Europe's northemmost capital, boasts over 30 art galleries and museums.

赫爾辛基，歐洲最北的首都，有30多座美術(shù)館及博物館。雖然它是芬蘭的文化及經(jīng)濟中心，但因其為數(shù)眾多的咖啡館和罕見的高樓大廈，而讓人感受到小鎮(zhèn)般的迷人風(fēng)情。盡管這里的公共運輸遠(yuǎn)近馳名，但遍布赫爾辛基的自行車道，使在城市和海濱公園騎車馳騁，成為一件輕松愜意的事。

While Finland is best enjoyed during the warmer months of May to September, its most famous resident is busiest in December. A little known fact is that Santa Claus does not live at the North Pole, but in the Lapland region of Finland. There, Santa receives about 600,000 letters a year written by children from over 150 countries.
另一個丕容錯過的景點是鄰近的“蘇歐門里那島”，在那兒你可以徘徊流連于海洋要塞的古老遺跡塑參觀多座博物館。建于1280年的土爾庫堡，離赫爾辛基僅數(shù)小時之遙，是芬蘭最著名的史跡建筑。

Lapland is home to the Samis, a native people who were gradually driven northward by development in Scandinavia. Their traditional livelihood revolves around reindeer, which number about 200,000 in Finland. Finally, don't forget, but a great reindeer stew can be had in Lapland as well.
除了順道拜訪圣誕老人，前往拉普蘭的游客也可以在拉門喬基公園享受徒步旅行與滑雪之樂，并欣賞它如夢似幻的北極圈風(fēng)光、蓊郁的森林以及這片遼闊荒原上星羅棋布的小屋。游客們也可以呆在玻璃冰屋內(nèi)觀賞午夜的太陽和北極極光，或是乘坐狗或馴鹿拉的雪橇?xí)秤我环?/p>
拉普蘭是撒密斯人的故鄉(xiāng)，這些土著居民由于斯堪的納維亞半島的開發(fā)而被迫逐漸向北遷徙。他們傳統(tǒng)的生計是靠芬蘭國內(nèi)的大約20萬只馴鹿。最后，別忘了，在拉普蘭你還可以嘗到很棒的燉馴鹿大餐呢。
