6. Seurasaari Island, Finland
In Helsinki, he who is in need of a rural atmosphere quickly turns to the Island of Seurasaari. After a short boat trip across the Baltic Sea, visitors can take in this open-air island museum, where renovated wooden cabins – a trademark of Finnish history – are scattered about a thick forest, making this otherworldly island a favorite for nature lovers and one of the more quaint hidden tourist gems in Scandinavia.

I don’t know if Torvehallerne is really “hidden” but it does rock! Cheers from Copenhagen!
