Winter fairy tale: in Finland you can relax both soul and body!
Winter is also not a time for boredom. Everyone knows that people who love skiing and snowboarding go to the central and northern parts of the country. How could one not take advantage of the snowy blanket and excellent ski service in a snowy country?
Tahko and Ylläs, Ruka and Levi are popular resorts with excellent slopes, reliable lifts and cozy hotels. And there are now as many water activities in Suomi as there are snow ones. Many water parks in Finland become so popular that people come specifically for relaxation, especially with children. Hotels are often built next to water complexes.
Many Finnish towns are located almost on the Russian border. Tourists from Russia come here for one or two days specifically to relax in spa hotels and spend weekends in water parks. All conditions are created here for lovers of water pleasures: pools with slides, hydromassage, Turkish bath, and, of course, the place Finns love most – a real Finnish sauna.
Near Helsinki, the largest water park in Europe has been built – "Serena". Every family member will find an interesting place to their liking here. Water rides, sports halls, bars with a selection of quality dishes (Finns are generally health-obsessed). There are even saunas built in a special natural area – inside a rock.
Smaller water amusement parks are scattered almost throughout the country and receive visitors daily. Ticket prices range from 9 to 16 euros per person. And booking hotels in Finland for a weekend or several vacation days can be done even from Russia – through an agency or via the Internet.
Another type of water entertainment for the residents of Finland is water and health complexes. These are the same water parks, but with a wider range of services for face and body care, with massage parlors and aromatherapy rooms, with refreshing mineral baths and a mandatory sauna. Often such centers are built at hotels, and those are considered spa hotels. They provide their guests with the opportunity to improve their health for free or with significant discounts. The largest such center is recognized as Naantali. It is built in a beautiful location – on the seashore, near the city of Turku.
Spa hotels, water parks, ski resorts, snowboard bases, and a meeting with the Finnish Santa Claus – Joulupukki – in Lapland are possible this winter for everyone. You just need to start booking a hotel in Finland early, because there are many people who want to visit the land of the Northern Lights and reindeer sleighs, and now also the European center of water activities.
