Finland
Helsinki is full of design. It is everywhere and there is even a 'Design District' - an area of 20 odd streets and incorporating 150 shops that caters for everything; interiors, clothing, art, antiques, restaurants, galleries, museums and more.
Every participating store has a free Design District map which details every other store involved and what they specialise in. A great idea.
Hämeenlinna consists of a number of nature trails leading off into the hills giving magnificent views. The town also Hämeenlinna Castle, a former jail, which now houses a number of museums, including an artillery museum displaying various artillery pieces, Foxholes and Gun Placements.
