Finland Travel Guide

Finland is known as the Land of the 1000 Lakes and you quickly find out why. The scenery with the beautiful lakes and forests is never far away in the country where the beautiful landscapes seems almost endless. On a drive you will also visit nice villages and of course the capital of Helsinki.

Helsinki's center was largely built during the Imperial period during the time when Finland was Russian. The resemblance to nearby St. Petersburg can be seen in the elegant Finnish capital, which has since been supplemented with works by the country's famous architects.

Nice cities and towns are located along the coasts of Finland like pearls on a string, and here both Finnish and Swedish are spoken. The wooden houses in provincial towns and villages are beautiful and even more beautiful when they are located front row to the Finnish rocky coasts.

Inland there are lakes and many opportunities for hiking and fun in the green. Winter is also particularly beautiful in Finland, where the landscape turns white and where the unforgettable northern light can be seen weather permitting. And not least in the Finnish north, which is located above the Arctic Circle.
