Trips to Finland

Crisp fresh air, the call of the beautiful Lapland wilderness and thrilling winter – and summer – activities, Finland has it all. A trip to this one-of-a-kind country promises a blend of natural beauty, vibrant culture, and modern amenities that captivate visitors year-round.

Helsinki, the capital, welcomes travelers with its eclectic mix of neoclassical architecture, cutting-edge design, and bustling waterfront markets. Iconic landmarks like the Helsinki Cathedral and the Suomenlinna Sea Fortress provide glimpses into Finland’s rich history and architectural heritage.

Beyond Helsinki, Finland’s pristine wilderness beckons adventurers and nature enthusiasts alike. To the north, Lapland offers a magical winter wonderland, where visitors can witness the mesmerizing Northern Lights, go husky sledding, or enjoy cross country skiing. During the summer months, Finland’s national parks showcase rugged forests, hiking trails, and opportunities for wildlife spotting.

Stay in cozy cabins on the edge of the Oulanka National Park, where vast forest landscapes are blanketed by snow and punctuated by frozen lakes. Free from the icy clutches of the winter, summer vacations in Finland reveal a stunning new landscape of crystal-clear blue lakes and pine forests as far as the eye can see. On a trip here, you may even see the elusive brown bear come out of hibernation.
