About Finland
Finland is home to approximately 188,000 lakes and the same number of islands. This fact alone makes Finland a unique and diverse country with a relatively large area of unspoiled nature.
With the unspoiled nature comes a variety of different wonderful species of plants and animals, making Finland a great place for those trying to get in touch with nature while still mingling with people.
Strangely, Finland's history is still debated to this day as archaeologists argue still about the roots of this great country. Most people will begin their holiday in the country's capital and only 'real' city, Helsinki. Helsinki provides a great balance of nature while also providing ancient and modern architecture.
Finland sits next to Estonia, Sweden, Russia, and Norway. Finland is a relatively big country, although sparsely populated. The whole country is filled with beautiful landscapes. Believe it or not, Finland has nearly two hundred thousand lakes and about one hundred and eighty thousand islands!
See Santa
Apart from being the home to Santa Claus, Lapland is also a good place for the Northern Lights, when the night sky lights up and dances!
If fed up with having to go through these every day, then head to the top of Finland, where the sun does not set for 73 days in summer, or rise for 51 days in winter.

Best place to live in Finland

Tampere as the most attractive place to live, followed by Jyvaskyla in second place. Others in the top ten included Turku, Oulu, Kuopio and Helsinki.
Helsinki
