Finland lies in Northern Europe and has borders with Russia to the east, Norway to the north, and Sweden to the west. The country is modern with well-planned and comfortable small towns and cities, but still offers vast areas of unspoiled nature. Finland has approximately 188,000 lakes, which is about 10% of the country, and a similar number of islands. In the northernmost part of the country the Northern Lights can be seen in the winter and midnight sun in the summer. Finns also claim the mythical mountain of Korvatunturi as the home of Santa Claus, and a burgeoning tourist industry in Lapland caters to Santa fans. Despite living in one of the most technologically developed countries in the world, the Finns love to head to their summer cottages in the warmer months to enjoy all manner of relaxing pastimes including sauna, swimming, fishing and barbecuing. For travelers who are interested in renting a car, car rental company has its desks located in larger airports in Finland. Top sights in Finland are: Helsinki, also called the Daughter of the Baltic, on a warm and sunny summer day; the historical sites of Turku and the vast archipelago around it, best viewed from the deck of a giant car ferry; picturesque wooden houses of Porvoo, Finland's second-oldest city; Olavinlinna Castle in Savonlinna, Finland's most atmospheric castle, especially during the yearly Opera Festival; Hämeenlinna Castle in Hämeenlinna is Finland's oldest castle, which was built in 13th century; icebreaker cruising and the world's biggest snow castle in Kemi; seeing the Northern Lights in Saariselkä.

You will find Finnish food for every taste and every budget, from a gourmet establishment to a family restaurant to trout cooked over a campfire.
