Travel Tips for History of Western Finland

Helsinki, Western Finland, Finland
Helsinki is a beautiful city to visit in the summer months and it is home to one of my favorite, and most off beat museums- Postimuseo or "The Postal Museum." It chronicles the history of the Finnish postal system, complete with interactive exhibits in multiple languages.
