Loviisa

Finland

Good for quiet, nature-loving, and off-the-beaten-path travelers. Not for those who want a busy city scene. Best time to go is summer, when the weather is mild and you can see the aurora. Budget around 1000-2000 CNY per person. Traveling between areas takes time, so rent a car. Must-see: Loviisa harbor and nearby forest trails. Skip the museum in the city center—it’s dull and not interactive. Avoid visiting during peak season, as it's crowded and expensive.
