North of Estonia across the Baltic Sea, west of Russia and bordering Norway and Sweden, its Scandinavian neighbours, Finland is one of Europe's wildest nations. Covered in vast tracts of forest with roaming wild brown bears, great lakes and raging rivers, fells and mountain chains, Finland offers pristine nature and isolation at its very best.
This is also a land where tradition meets modern, where Lapland's Sami people carry Nokia mobile phones and ride skidoos to find their roaming herds of reindeer. With one of the highest standards of living in the world, travel here is easy - trains chug through breathtaking scenery, public buses reach just about all parts of the country, and excellent roads offer self-drivers numerous touring options.
From the modern Baltic capital of Helsinki to the flower-filled meadows of the Aland Islands, from the cultural centre of Savonlinna to the beaches of the Bay of Bothnia, from Lapland's Midnight Sun to the mind-blowing Northern Lights, Finland is full of contrasts. Travel here during winter months and you'll be rewarded with a vast icy landscape of snow castles, frozen lakes and winter fun!
