Thanks to Finnair, we’re now closer than ever to the Nordic region. Well, in terms of direct flights anyway. Boasting shorter routes between Asia and Europe, Finnair now flies daily non-stop between Singapore and the Finnish capital Helsinki, with fares starting at around $1,791. Marvel at the city’s neoclassical architecture and visit its countless museums before deciding for yourself if the most populous municipality in Finland lives up to its title of World Design Capital 2012.
