Finland is a stunning landscape with a huge variety of exciting possibilities for visitors, many of which are enhanced by hiring a car. Starting with wonderful Lapland, where there is almost guaranteed to be snow, you can tour out to some of the lesser known landscapes for an unforgettable experience. From Helsinki, the charming capital, to some of the thousands of islands in the archipelago, there is so much to do and explore in Finland. Turku and Tampere, the other major cities, also boast a charm that is uniquely Finnish. In Lapland, visitors should expand their horizons and boldly go where they've never gone before - for instance to a steaming hot sauna or skiing.

In the south, there is some of the major population and this is where the focus of cultural life is and where Helsinki is found. The West offers some stunning coastal landscape and is a boon for those who are interested in the history of the country; hiring a car will enable you to travel between the small towns in this area and observe some of the desolate landscape and the traditional isthmuses. You can also tour to the Kalla islands in this region which were only made autonomous from Sweden in the seventeenth century and, as a result, retain a good deal of this influence in their structure and design. This area is also particularly popular for music enthusiasts, and regularly hosts some excellent festivals – from jazz to chamber music, you are sure to find something to whet your musical appetite. The lakes in the Lake District area are also a major draw, and are the biggest in Europe. There are several idyllic spots dotted near this area of the town, and it is a haven from the hustle and bustle of the larger cities. Make sure you make time to sample some of the smoked fish for which Finland is famed – you won’t be disappointed!
