Where the Northern Lights aren't the only attractions
Step into a winter wonderland when you visit the Scandinavian countries of Finland and Norway. From a king crab feast, getting your reindeer driving license, to visiting Santa Claus' hometown, there's so much to do and to experience there apart from just viewing the Northern Lights!
3. Temppeliaukio Church, Helsinki
Also known as the ‘Church of the Rock’, this unique, almost extraterrestrial-like church’s walls are chiselled out entirely from a massive block of natural granite, with a round dome-shaped ceiling made of copper plates. The majestic building is the brainchild of a pair of brothers, Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen—whose design won an architecture contest in 1961, and the entire church was finally completed in 1969.
