Not overcrowded with tourists, Finland offers something out of the ordinary for a visitor with a discerning taste. If you want to enjoy a touch of unspoilt nature far from concrete walls and traffic jams, this is the place to go. There is plenty of space for rambling in the forests, where you can breathe in fresh air and experience a unique sensation of living in harmony with nature.

Besides peace and tranquillity, nature provides a wonderful setting for interesting activities at any time of the year for groups and individuals alike.

The cities offer excellent facilities for shopping and leisure activities, a varied choice of high-class restaurants and a great variety of cultural attractions and events. Yet, even in the largest cities, nature is always close by. Where else can you find an area of almost untouched wilderness just a half an hour drive from the capital city's centre?
