FINLAND
Finland is the perfect place to reconnect with nature. Extending over the remote reaches of the country’s
north, Finnish Lapland offers adventure and excitement throughout the year. Visitors can glide through
frozen forests on traditional reindeer and dogsleds or stay in one of the many ice, snow or glass igloos
to catch a glimpse of the mystical northern lights.
The capital of Helsinki is both dynamic and stylish, brimming with fabulous art galleries and cafés, with
the harbour at its heart. It’s also a perfect point from which to delve into Russia and the Baltic States
with quick ferry access to Tallinn, Estonia.
Finland has a proud Sami culture and heritage, which you will discover throughout your Lapland
adventure. The summer months are also popular as you cross ‘the land of a thousand lakes’.
