Which country do you recommend me to visit, Finland or Norway?

Question

Well, I would like to visit any of these 2 countries during the summer, which one do you recommend more?
I'm 18 years old, I'm interested in going to museums and I'm more interested in architecture than landscapes, but I also want to have fun, so which one is better and why?
Also, I don't speak Norwegian nor Suomi, I just speak English, Spanish and German, so which one is more.... friendly (so to say) to English-speakers?

Several people has already mentioned Finland (and I haven't been there, have only been recommended places), so I'll stick to Norway and Sweden. Norway will be expensive, doesn't matter if you're in the capital or other cities. Buy yeah. Deal with it :P In the capital itself you have several sights, famous parks (ie. Vigelandsparken - heaps of quirky statues, it's the largest sculpture park made by one single artist in the world), the castle, the fortress etc. It's fjords, cities with northern lights and midnight sun, glaciers, mountain or sea side experiences, all depending on the likes and dislikes. Depending on the time of the year, there's a lot of festivals. A lot of this will also be the same for Sweden, since there's much of the same climate. Not as much fjords, though. As there's been Swedish nobles for centuries, there's also loads of mansions, castles, fortresses and churches built in the honor of nobles, kings and what-not. Loads to see!

I suggest that you visit both Finland and Norway, they are different but very beautiful in their own way.Both countries have museums and good architecture.I know Finland have had architects who are famous all over the world to those who know something about that.Norwegians are perhaps more merry at first sight and the Finns more silent, but I like them both.The Finns seem shy, but when you get to know them and they you, you have a friend for life.The Norwegians are friendly too, so I suggest a visit to both countries. Well I didn´t help you with your problem, did I? English is spoken in both countries, they learn it in the school.

Answer 4

Both Norwegians and Finns speak very good English, so there shouldn't be any language problems.

Finland is cheaper than Norway :D I think Norway might have more to offer when it comes to architechture and museums although you wouldn't get bored in Finland. I'm a bit biased, I love Helsinki, it's such a cool place to be in the summer. It's hard to answer your question, I think you should just flip a coin...
