Welcome

Finland is one of Europe's best-kept secrets when it comes to travel destinations.

Finland has its own unique culture that sets it apart from its Nordic neighbours. It's teeming with pristine nature that superbly provides contrast to the country's cutting edge design. Come and explore Finland, and find out what's delightful and exhilarating things you'll discover!

Finland is a great destination for those who love the water. Why? It's has 187,888 lakes, negating its own nickname, Land of a Thousand Lakes. Aside from the lakes, it almost has the same number of islands – 179,584 in all. You can take several scenic fjord cruises and marvel at nature's wonder – which changes with the season. You can go on off-the-beaten track adventures, take leisurely walks amid tall pines and stay at the scintillating and forever happy Santa's Village. Enjoy the thrill of a husky dog sled ride and experience extreme weather phenomena – the Northern Lights, the Midnight Sun and the Arctic Night.

There's so much to see and do in Finland. You can explore the capital city, Helsinki, which is often called the Daughter of the Baltic. See the city's dedication to a favourite son – Jean Sibelius and the Sibelius Monument at the park named after the national composer of Finland. If you believe in Santa, exploring the gateway to Lapland, where Santa is supposed to live, leads you to the Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi. If you love the opera, visit the lakeside city of Savonlinna, where a bonus in the form of the huge castle, the Olavinlinna, awaits you. Porvoo is famous for the row of beautiful wooden merchant houses along the shore of the river. For a great view of the famed cathedral, schedule a tour of Turku, which is the country's former capital.
