Culture in Finland

The Finnish culture is very similar to that of other Nordic countries, even though it has features specific to Finnish people alone (such as the many sauna traditions). The Finnish cultural heritage is a blend of Western Christian and older pagan traditions and culture. The biggest minority groups in Finland are the Swedish-speaking Finns, Romani and Sami in the North, and these groups largely have their own beliefs and practices. Here we introduce some interesting features of the Finnish culture.
