Two Fine Finnish Drives to Finish

This 3 day driving tour, from Tankavaara to Nuorgam, takes you through Urho Kekkonen National Park, known for it's wild tundra and reindeer. Then to Lake Inari, one of Europe's most beautiful lakes. Then Utsjoki to Nuorgam, often called Finland's most scenic road, hugging the River Teno on the Norwegian border.

Then if want more, try Savo to Karelia, a tour past Lake Saimaa and take in the Lietvesi Scenic Road, where the road weaves between sparkling lakes and forested islands. Visit charming towns like Savonlinna and Kuopio, and soak in the Finnish sauna culture.

About Finland

Finland is home to approximately 188,000 lakes and the same number of islands. This fact alone makes Finland a unique and diverse country with a relatively large area of unspoiled nature. With the unspoiled nature comes a variety of different wonderful species of plants and animals, making Finland a great place for those trying to get in touch with nature while still mingling with people.

Strangely, Finland's history is still debated to this day as archaeologists argue still about the roots of this great country. Most people will begin their holiday in the country's capital and only 'real' city, Helsinki. Helsinki provides a great balance of nature while also providing ancient and modern architecture.

Finland sits next to Estonia, Sweden, Russia, and Norway. Finland is a relatively big country, although sparsely populated. The whole country is filled with beautiful landscapes. Believe it or not, Finland has nearly two hundred thousand lakes and about one hundred and eighty thousand islands!

See Santa

Apart from being the home to Santa Claus, Lapland is also a good place for the Northern Lights, when the night sky lights up and dances!

If fed up with having to go through these every day, then head to the top of Finland, where the sun does not set for 73 days in summer, or rise for 51 days in winter.

Finland is excellent for snow based activities with more snowfall than elsewhere in Europe. Granted, it is a little cooler than the more popular destinations such as the French Alps, but you are assured of good skiing, and a a great place to see the night sky light up.

Best place to live in Finland

The Finns are fanatical about clean living and they voted Tampere as the most attractive place to live, followed by Jyvaskyla in second place. Others in the top ten included Turku, Oulu, Kuopio and Helsinki.

Helsinki

The city capital Helsinki is filled with lakes that are worth visiting as well. After landing at Helsinki Airport, take a drive around Helsinki. You will have to go around the lakes to get to your destination. Unlike most other European cities, the Helsinki governing body have ensured large expanses of parks, pedestrian areas and good transport system, with trams making it easy to navigate. This coupled with a first class road network makes driving a hire car in Finland both easy and enjoyable.
