Overview

Finland

Here, nature and sports are on the agenda! Lakes, sea, forests, and tundra offer beautiful landscape in the snow as well as in the midnight sun. Here we are in the country of snow sleigh rides, ski, and bicycle rides. A special mention must go to the snowbike ride through magical coloured forests, surrounded by 55,000 moose and deer. Finland, jammed between Sweden and Russia, benefits from a long coast on the Baltic Sea. The south is crossed by the 'King's Road', that goes through many historical monuments. When in the north, Lapland welcomes you, and then, time will stop for a moment.

pros

  •  The change of scenery is absolute.
  •  Finland is the country of nature in all its forms : forests, lakes, sea, rivers, mountains, islands.
  •  Cultural activities: after a long winter, Finnish people enjoy summer days and evenings as much as they can. This period thus offers a wide range of events.

cons

  •  Cost of living. If you are looking for a cheap stay, choose more affordable housing options such as camp sites or chalets.
  •  1/3 of the country is situated above the polar circle. Even though it is dry, due to the high latitude, the climate remains very cold during winter (it can freeze until June and from as early as August) and the lack of light limits activities.

Our Editorial team's advice

Visit in the summer, July is the hottest and sunniest month. In winter, the ski season starts in October and ends mid-May. January is the coldest month of the year. The best time to visit starts in February at the end of kaamos when there is only 3 to 4 hours of sunlight per day, from November to the beginning of January.
For hunting two licenses are required. The hunting card that gives access to regional licenses, is granted on the presentation of a valid national hunting license and international hunting insurance. The gun import license is delivered by the police at your arrival location (port, airport, border) after identification of the number, calibre and gun manufacturer, as well as a certificate indicating a gun ownership. Bring your own ammunition because to buy some in Finland, you have to show a license delivered by the local police.
If you wish to bring your domestic pet with you (to go hunting for example), do not forget to vaccinate it against rabies 30 days before the departure, and less than twelve months ahead. Careful, the certificate has to be written in English, German, Swedish or Finnish.
If you own an LPG car, leave it at home. Finland does not offer this type of fuel.
