50 Best Romantic Getaways

Helsinki

Urban Retreat Chairs, vases, wallpaper—the Finns do it all with style. Take Finlandia Hall, the massive white Alvar Aalto edifice, or Hvitträsk, Eliel Saarinen’s house, which has become something of a shrine. The Church in the Rock is a miraculous place—not for religious reasons, but for its breathtaking interpretation of what a church can be: it looks like a flying saucer, landed in the middle of Temppeliaukio Square. Stay in the 39-room 1952 Palace Hotel for its charming retro feel.
