Suomenlinna is an island off of Helsinki. It's the site of a fortress built in 1748 to protect Finland's capital from Russian aggression. The island is beautiful, and you should be sure to spend a morning or afternoon exploring it.

Secret Lagoon

Iceland | Reykjavik

Along the Goldenroad you will come upon the town of Fludir, which is unremarkable aside from the Secret Lagoon. A geothermal pool surrounded by subalpine meadows, the Secret Lagoon is a great place to relax with a drink. Not nearly as expensive as the Blue Lagoon, it's a more natural feel and a nice stop on your tour of the Golden Circle.

Blue Lagoon (Bláa Lónið)

Iceland | Reykjavik

While it's one of Iceland's iconic tourist attractions, it's probably not a must-see, especially on a repeat trip to Iceland. However, it's one of those once-in-a-lifetime price tag experiences that, as the most well known activity in the country, gives you a shared experience with every other tourist that visits the country and does offer iconic blue photos. Entirely man-made you can explore the pool with a drink in your hand (part of the admission price).

Húsavík Whale Watching

Iceland | North Iceland

A fantastic whale watching tour in a bay on Iceland's northern shore; we recommend you go with North Sailing. You're likely to see more humpback whales than you can count. North Sailing also offers a whale and puffin tour.

Landmannalaugar Day Tour

Iceland | South Iceland

An incredible journey into the highlands of Iceland. You'll see unmatched beauty of rugged volcanic fields, soaring mountains streaked in bright colors of orange, red, green, and grey, and sparkling lakes surrounded by greenery. It has a wild feel to the countryside and a hike in this area makes you feel like you're on another planet. You can also bathe in a true natural hot spring.
