Hi! Can anyone suggest cool places to go and fun things to do in Finland for a tourist that doesn’t like museums, historical buildings, etc, but is more interested in shopping, food, bars and fun physical activities?

I’m visiting Finland in March for a week and I am trying to make plans how to spend time there and I decided that it could be better to ask people that probably know better, because I don’t know anything about Finland and internet just suggests things that seem boring to me. 😅

    Make a geocaching account. Look up the place you’re going to. Look for caches with a lot of favourite points. Discover cool places (hopefully).

    Edit: Also, depends on where in Finland you’re going. Pretty huge difference between Levi and Helsinki haha

        It was just an example, Levi is a ski resort destination in the north of Finland, so activities would include skiing, after ski and visiting sports goods stores I guess… Helsinki hopefully have more varied things to offer. Never been there tho. Hell, I’m not even from Finland. Been to Levi tho. And Rovaniemi. Where you can visit Santa Claus and Lordi’s square.
