Finland Travel - Hotels, Sightseeing Tours, Attractions, Information

Visiting Finland is like stepping into a refreshing shower on a hot day. Even in the cultured capital, Helsinki, the air is clean, and the countryside has a cool but seductive beauty. The western coast is fringed with countless islands, while the southern Saimaa district is drenched by myriad sapphire lakes. Here you can sail, fish, or take a relaxing sauna – followed, of course, by a dip in the lake.

Top Tourist and Travel Destination in Finland

Helsinki - Helsinki, the capital of Finland since 1812, was founded in 1550 but only really grew with its new status in the 19th century. It is now one of the fastest-growing cities in Europe and is home to attractions including the National Museum of Helsinki.
Helsinki is the capital of Finland, but it is a very small city. It has only half a million people and everything is within walking range. Helsinki is a very nice, enjoyable city and extremely tourist friendly. All the people are fluent in Finnish, Swedish, and English, and they usually speak a few other languages as well such as German and Russian.
