Sweat the day away at a relaxing Finnish sauna – a quintessential experience in Helsinki and known as one of the key experiences to happiness – and maybe take a quick refreshing dip in the Baltic Sea!

Tick trendy Copenhagen off your bucket list and wander the colourful houses, then explore Copenhill and learn about their sustainability efforts while taking in the views of the city from above.

Choose your own adventure with heaps of free time to customise your trip however you like – maybe rent bikes and cycle through the cities, see museums and soak up the history, art and culture, or cafe hop to sample some local delicacies.
