Experience a wonderful holiday at Lake Saimaa, Finland

Last night, the Northern Lights danced across the sky over Lappeenranta 🌌🌟 Witnessing the Aurora Borealis is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many 💚In southern Finland, these amazing lights are not often visible, but sometimes we’re lucky enough to see nature’s breathtaking spectacle 💚🩵
By the way, do you know how the Northern Lights come about? 😉 According to Sami legend, a fox runs across the Arctic fells, lighting up the sky with sparks flying from its tail and swirling up the snow. The modern Finnish term "revontulet", meaning "fox’s fires," comes from this myth, 💚🤗

Did you know that Finland is one of the top coffee-drinking countries in the world? ☕ And if there’s one city that truly embodies that love for coffee, it’s Lappeenranta 😉
Our charming city is home to two renowned coffee roasters, @lehmusroastery and @makea.coffee —both award-winning and celebrated for their high-quality, sustainably crafted coffee that draws in fans from near and far.
Lappeenranta’s café culture is as warm and inviting as the city itself. Here, cozy family-run cafés sit alongside modern specialty coffee spots, each offering its own unique atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing break, a place to catch up with friends, or simply an excellent cup of coffee, you’ll find it here 🤗
And the best part? You can even take some of that locally roasted coffee with you on an adventure—brew it over a campfire, soak in the peaceful nature around you, and enjoy the true Finnish coffee experience ☕🌿

Step into a Finnish sauna and immerse yourself in centuries of tradition, tranquility, and wellness 🌿Here in Finland, the sauna isn’t just a tradition—it’s a way of life 🤗Picture this: you’re sitting in a room heated to 80–90°C, the air alive with "löyly"—the gentle steam rising as water meets hot stones 🌿The warmth envelopes you, melting away every ounce of stress. Then, you step outside into the crisp winter air and dive into an icy Lake Saimaa... 🩵❄

In the Lappeenranta and Imatra region, you’ll find many different saunas waiting to be explored. Experience the authentic Hugo’s smoke saunas in Rautjärvi (@hugonhuvilat_ja_savusaunat) , the unique @livelife_strongly peat sauna at Myllysaari in Lappeenranta, or the floating sauna @saunalauttaimatra in Imatra. Looking for something extraordinary? Try dry-suit floating while enjoying a sauna cruise 😉
