Finland

Welcome to Finland

Capital of Finland: Helsinki
Population of Finland: 5.5 million - 23rd in Europe
Size of Finland: 338,145 km2 - 8th in Europe
Languages in Finland: Finnish and Swedish

Combining vast Nordic wilderness with bustling hip cities, Finland offers something to delight and surprise all its visitors. Generally speaking, the northern region is populated by unspoiled pine forests, glistening blue lakes, and a plethora of interesting wildlife, while the south is home to the nation's thoroughly modern urban centers. Although Finland holds the title of most sparsely populated county in the European Union, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs in cities like Helsinki, Espoo, and Tampere are often packed with fun-loving Finns. Do bring your dancing shoes, but don't forget your hiking boots either - you'll want to make use of the country's 37 national parks, spread throughout this "Land of a Thousand Lakes."

Highlights

Ski, snowmobile, dog sled, take a reindeer ride, and snow shoe on the well maintained slopes
