2025 IIHF Ice Hockey W18 World Championship will be held in Vantaa Tikkurila Arena on January 4th–12th. The last time the World Cup for girls under the age of 18 was played in Finland was in 2013, so now Vantaa has a rare treat in top girls' hockey. Game tourists arriving in Vantaa have other things to see and experience in addition to hockey.
 
Vantaa is well known for Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, but it is much more than that. Vantaa, the fourth largest city in Finland, offers many things to see and experience: nature lovers can enjoy Lake Kuusijärvi, which is a popular outdoor recreation center both in summer and winter, and Sipoonkorvi National Park, where you can enjoy forest excursions.
