Containing approximately 188,000 lakes (about 10% of the country), Finns love to head to their summer cottages in the warmer months to enjoy all manner of relaxing pasttimes including sauna, swimming, fishing and barbecuing. Visits to the North of Finland in the winter must include a sit on Santa's knee and (if you're lucky) a glimpse of the Northern Lights. ==Regions== *Southern Finland — including the top three cities of Helsinki, Tampere and Turku, where the bulk of the population lives *Central Finland — famously flat, including the university town of Jyväskylä and the technology city of Oulu *Eastern Finland — forests and lakes by the Russian border *Finnish Lapland — tundra and reindeer above the Arctic Circle *Åland|The Åland Islands — an autonomous and monolingually Swedish phrasebook|Swedish group of islands off the southwestern coast of Finland ==Cities== *Helsinki — the capital and largest city of Finland *Tampere — industrial town home to the Lenin Museum *Turku — the former capital on the western coast *Jyväskylä — university town *Oulu — at the end of the Gulf of Bothnia *Rovaniemi — gateway to Finnish Lapland|Lapland ==Other destinations== *Finnish National Parks *Koli National Park *Savonlinna — known for its castle and opera festival *Saariselkä — ski resort and aurora-spotting destination in Lapland ==Understand== {{infobox|Sauna|The '''sauna''' is perhaps Finland's largest contribution to the world (and almost certainly the only word of Finnish to have taken off elsewhere). The sauna is essentially just a room heated to 70-120°C; according to an oft-quoted statistic this nation of 5 million has no less than 2 million saunas, in apartments, offices, summer cottages and even Parliament. In ancient times, saunas (being sterile) were the place to give birth and heal the sick, and the first building constructed when setting up a new household. If invited to visit a Finnish home, you are very likely be invited to bathe in the sauna as well — and note that refusing such an invitation is considered rude. Enter the sauna naked after taking a shower, as wearing a bathing suit or any other clothing is considered a ''faux pas'' (public saunas will usully provide separate facilities or shifts for men and women.) The temperature is regulated by throwing water onto the stove (''kiuas''): the resulting rush of heat, known as ''löyly'', is considered the key to the sauna experience. Some sauna-goers also like to flagellate themselves with leafy branches of birch (''vihta''), which supposedly improves blood circulation. If the heat is too much, move down to a lower level to catch your breath. After you've had your fill, you can cool off by heading outside for a dip in the lake or, in winter, a roll in the snow — and then head back in for another round. Repeat this a few times, then cork open a cold beer and enjoy total relaxation Finnish style. These days the most common type of sauna features an electrically heated stove, which is easy to control and maintain. In more remote locations you may also encounter traditional wood-fired saunas, but purists prefer the now rare traditional chimneyless smoke saunas (''savusauna''), where the sauna is filled with smoke and then ventilated before entering.}} ===History=== Finland was a province and then a grand duchy under Sweden from the 12th to the 19th centuries and an autonomous grand duchy of Russia after 1809. It finally won its complete independence in 1917. During World War II, it was able to successfully defend its independence and fend off invasions by the Soviet Union and Germany. In the subsequent half century, the Finns have made a remarkable transformation from a farm/forest economy to a diversified modern industrial economy; per capita income is now on par with Western Europe. As a member of the European Union, Finland was the only Nordic state to join the euro system at its initiation in January 1999. ===Climate=== Finland has a cold but temperate climate, which is actually comparatively mild for the latitude because of moderating influence of the North Atlantic Current. Wintertime temperatures can still reach -30°C in the south and even dip below -50°C in the north, although these extremes are uncommon. The brief Finnish summer is considerably more pleasant, with average temperatures around 20°C, and is generally the best time of year to visit. Early spring (March-April) is when the snows start to melt and Finns like to head north for skiing and winter sports, while the transition from fall to winter in October-December — wet, rainy, dark and generally miserable — is the worst time to visit. Due to the extreme latitude, Finland experiences the famous '''Midnight Sun''' near the summer solstice, when (if above the Arctic Circle) the sun never sets during the night and even in southern Finland it never really gets dark. The flip side of the coin is the '''Arctic Night''' (''kaamos'') in the winter, when the sun never comes up at all and the south daylight is limited to a few pitiful hours with the sun just barely climbing over the trees before it heads down again. ===Geography=== Unlike Norway and Sweden, Finland is mostly low, flat to rolling plains interspersed with lakes and low hills, with mountains (of a sort) only in the extreme north and Finland's highest point, Mount Halti, rising only to a modest 1,328 m. Finland has (according to one estimate) some 56,000 lakes, making the moniker '''Land of Ten Thousand Lakes''' actually an underestimation. Along the coast and in the lakes are (according to another estimate) some 187,880 islands, making the country an excellent boating destination as well. Image:111-1151_IMG.JPG|thumb|Finnish nature ===Holidays=== Finns aren't typically very hot on big public carnivals; most holidays are spent at home with family. The most notable exception, in university cities at least, is ''Vappu'' on May 1, as thousands of students (and leftists, whose day of jubilation it traditionally is) fill the streets. Important holidays and similar happenings include: * '''New Year's Day''' (''Uudenvuodenpäivä''), January 1. * '''Epiphany''' (''Loppiainen''), January 6. * '''Easter''' (''Pääsiäinen''), date varies by year. Tied to this are ''laskiainen'' 40 days before Easter, nominally a carneval that kicks off the Lent, practically a time for children and university students to go sliding down snowy slopes, and '''Ascension Day''' (''helatorstai'') 40 days after, just another day for the shops to be closed. * '''Walpurgis Night''' (''Vappu''), May 1 (starting with ''Vappuaatto'' on April 30). A spring festival that coincides with '''May Day'''. Originally a workers' celebration, vappu has become a festival for students, who wear colorful signature overalls and roam the streets. * '''Midsummer Festival''' (''Juhannus''), June 24. Held to celebrate the summer solstice, with plenty of bonfires, drinking and general merrymaking. Cities become almost empty as people rush to their summer cottages. * '''July''' is the usual month to have your summer vacation, unlike most of Europe that does it in August. * '''Night of the Arts''' (''Taiteiden yö''), in Helsinki some time near the end of August. Called "little ''vappu''" by many as streets are full of drunk people, but the official content is performing arts through the night. Invented by bookstores in the 1990s. * '''Independence Day''' (''Itsenäisyyspäivä''), December 6. A fairly somber celebration of Finland's independence from Russia. The President holds a ball for the important people that the less important watch on TV. * '''Little Christmas''' (''Pikkujoulu''), people go pub crawling with their workmates in December. * '''Christmas''' (''Joulu''), December 24 to 26. The biggest holiday of the year, when pretty much everything closes for three days. Santa (''Joulupukki'') comes on Christmas Eve on December 24, ham gets eaten and everyone goes to sauna. * '''New Year's Eve''' (''Uudenvuodenaatto''), December 31. Fireworks time! ==Get in== Finnish foreign ministry has a page on [http://formin.finland.fi/doc/eng/services/entry/main.html Entry documents required of foreign nationals]. Finland is signatory to the Schengen treaty, see the article on the European Union for details. ===By plane=== Finland's main international hub is '''Helsinki-Vantaa Airport''' near Helsinki. There are limited regional services to other cities and, in the winter high season, occasional direct charters to Finnish Lapland|Lapland. Ryanair flies to Tampere. ===By train=== There are daily direct train services to St. Petersburg (Russia)|St. Petersburg and Moscow in Russia. ===By boat=== One of the best ways to travel to and from Finland is by sea. The boats to Sweden, in particular, are giant, multi-story floating palaces and department stores, with cheap prices subsidized by sales of tax-free booze: a return trip to Stockholm including a cabin for up to four people can go as low as 50€. If travelling by Inter Rail, you can get 50% off deck fares. The best way to arrive in Helsinki is standing on the outside deck with a view ahead. ====To Estonia==== Helsinki - Tallinn (Estonia) *[http://www.siljaline.fi/?ChangeLang=english Silja Line] *[http://www.vikingline.fi/index.asp?lang=en Viking Line] *[http://www.seawind.fi/switchlang.php?l=eng Seawind Line] *[http://www.eckeroline.fi/en/ Eckerö Line] *[http://www.tallink.fi/en/ Tallink] *[http://195.222.18.13/lindaline/index.php?ll=eng Linda Line] (not during winter) *[http://www-eng.njl.fi/ Nordic Jet Line] (not during winter) ====To Germany==== Helsinki - Travemünde (Germany) *[http://www.ferrycenter.fi/finnlines/en/ Finnlines] Helsinki - Rostock (Germany) Hanko - Rostock (Germany) *[http://www.superfast.com/Baltic/English/index.asp Superfast Ferries] ====To Russia==== Helsinki - Saint Petersburg (Russia) *[http://www.tallink.fi/en/ Tallink] (starts April 2004) ====To Sweden==== Helsinki - Stockholm (Sweden) *[http://www.siljaline.fi/?ChangeLang=english Silja Line] *[http://www.vikingline.fi/index.asp?lang=en Viking Line] Turku - Stockholm (Sweden) *[http://www.siljaline.fi/?ChangeLang=english Silja Line] *[http://www.vikingline.fi/index.asp?lang=en Viking Line] *[http://www.seawind.fi/switchlang.php?l=eng Seawind Line] ==Get around== Finland's a large country and traveling is relatively expensive. ===By plane=== Flights are the fastest but also the most expensive way of getting around, especially after the demise of Finland's abortive low-cost carriers. It's worth booking in advance if possible: on the Helsinki-Oulu sector, the country's busiest, a fully flexible return economy ticket costs a whopping 251€ but an advance-purchase "Happy Hour" ticket can go as low as 62€. You may also be able to get free or discounted domestic tickets if you fly in on Finnair. There are three airlines flying domestic flights: *[http://www.finnair.com Finnair] (the biggest by far) *Golden Air (sales through Finnair) *[http://www.blue1.com Blue1] (a division of SAS, formerly known as Air Botnia) ===By train=== '''[http://www.vr.fi/heo/eng/index.html VR]''' (Finnish Railways), operates the pretty extensive (and unfortunately also pretty expensive) railroad network. The train is the method of choice for travel from Helsinki to Tampere and Turku, with departures at least once per hour and faster speeds than the bus. The trains are generally very comfortable, especially the express services, and amenities usually include toilets, a restaurant/cafe car and on some trains even have play rooms for children. The following classes of service are available, with example prices and durations for the popular Helsinki-Tampere service in parenthesis: * '''Pendolino''' tilting trains, the fastest option (28.40€, 1:27) * '''InterCity''' and '''InterCity2''' express trains, with surcharge (24.40€, 1:48) * Ordinary '''express''' (''pikajuna''), no surcharge (19.00€, 1:53) * '''Local''' (''taajamajuna'' or ''paikallisjuna''), no surcharge, very slow (19.00€, 2:23) Additional surcharges apply for travel in 1st class or in overnight sleepers. Finland is a participant in the Interrail system, and is located in Zone B along with Scandinavia (see [http://www.vr.fi/heo/eng/lansi/finterail.htm]). ===By bus=== [http://www.matkahuolto.fi/english/ Matkahuolto] offers long-distance coach connections to practically all parts of Finland. Fares are generally equivalent to or marginally cheaper than trains. ===By car=== Car rental is possible in Finland but generally expensive and, particularly in winter, somewhat hazardous, especially for drivers unused to cold weather conditions. The most dangerous weather is in fact around the zero degree mark, when slippery but near-invisible '''black ice''' forms on the roads. Particularly in Finnish Lapland|Lapland, collisions with '''reindeer''' (survivable) and '''moose''' (lethal) are common and drivers must stay very alert, particularly at dawn and dusk. Traffic drives on the right. Note that headlights must be kept on ''at all times'' when driving, in and outside cities, whether it's dark or not. VR's [http://www.vr.fi/heo/eng/aika/fautojuna.htm overnight car carrier trains] are popular for skipping the long slog from Helsinki up to Lapland and getting a good night's sleep instead: a Helsinki-Rovaniemi trip (one way) with car and cabin for 1-3 people starts from 215€. ==Buy== Finland adopted the '''euro''' (€) on January 1st 2002 and the Finnish mark (FIM) is now obsolete. Uniquely among eurozone countries, Finland does not use the 1 and 2 cent coins; instead all sums are rounded to the nearest 5 cents. The coins are, however, still legal tender and there are even small quantities of Finnish 1c and 2c coins, highly valued by collectors. It is common to omit cents and the euro sign from prices, and use the comma as a decimal separator: "5,-" thus means 5€. ===Costs=== Declared the world's most expensive country in 1990, prices have since abated somewhat but are still steep by most standards. Rock-bottom traveling if staying in hostel dorms and self-catering costs at least 25€/day and it's well worth doubling that amount. Even the cheapest hotels cost closer to 100€ per night. Instead of hotels or hostels, look for holiday cottages, especially when travelling in a group and off-season, you can find a full-equipped cottage for 10-15€ per person and night. Note that a VAT of 22% is charged for nearly everything, but by law this must be included in the displayed price. Non-EU residents can get a tax refund for purchases above 40€ at participating outlets, just look for the Tax-Free Shopping logo. ==Eat== Image:Food_MakkaraMuusi.JPG|thumb|240px|A typical Finnish meal: grilled sausage, mashed potatoes, mushy carrots, a squirt of mustard and a glass of ''piimä'' Finnish cuisine is heavily influenced by its neighbors, the main staples being '''potatoes''' and '''bread''' with various fish and meat dishes on the side. Not exactly a gourmand's paradise, some Finnish specialties worth looking out for include: * '''Karelian pies''' (''karjalanpiirakka''), a small baked pastry containing rice porridge, eaten topped with butter and chopped egg * '''Smoked salmon''' (''savulohi''), not just the cold, thinly sliced, semi-raw Swedish kind but also fully cooked "warm" smoked salmon * '''Loop sausage''' (''lenkkimakkara''), a large, mildly flavored sausage that contains more flour than meat; best when grilled and topped with a dab of sweet Finnish mustard (''sinappi''), and beer * '''Breadcheese''' (''leipäjuusto''), a type of grilled curd best eaten with a dab of cloudberry jam * Various '''reindeer''' (''poro'') dishes, not a part of the everyday Finnish diet but a tourist staple and common in the frigid North * A wide range of '''berries''' in summer, including the delectable and expensive '''cloudberry''' (''lakka'') * '''Licorice''' (''lakritsi''), particularly the strong, salty kind known as ''salmiakki'', which gets its unique (and acquired) taste from ammonium chloride * '''Finnish pastries''' abound and are often taken with coffee (''see '''Drink''''') after a meal. Look for '''cardamom coffee bread''' (''pulla''), a wide variety of '''tarts''' (''torttu''), and '''donuts''' (''munkki''). There are also regional specialties, including Eastern Finland's ''kalakukko'' (a type of giant '''fish pie''') and Tampere's infamous '''blood sausage''' (''mustamakkara''). Around Easter keep an eye out for ''mämmi'', a type of brown sweet '''barley porridge''' which is eaten with cream and sugar. It looks famously unpleasant but doesn't actually taste that bad. ===Places to eat=== Finns tend to eat out only on special occasions, and restaurant prices are correspondingly expensive. The one exception is '''lunchtime''', when thanks to a government-sponsored lunch coupon system nearly every restaurant in town offers set lunches for around 7€, usually consisting of a main course, salad bar, bread table and a drink. University cafeterias, many of which are open to all, are particularly cheap with meals in the 3-4€ range for students, although without local student ID you will usually need to pay more. For dinner, you'll be limited to generic fast food (hamburgers, kebabs and such) in the 5-10€ range, or you'll have to splurge 20+€ for a meal in a "nice" restaurant. For eating on the move, look for '''grill''' kiosks (''grilli''), which serve sausages, hamburgers and other portable (if not terribly health-conscious) fare late into the night at reasonable prices. '''Hesburger''' is the local fast-food equivalent of McDonald's, with a similar menu. However they have a more "Finnish" interpretation of a few dishes, such as a sour-rye chicken sandwich. The '''buffet table''' (''voileipäpöytä''), is the Finnish version of smorgasbord. Typically a good-sized selection of sandwiches, various meats and pastries. Though not very common in a restaurant setting, if you are fortunate enough to be invited to a Finn's home, they will likely have prepared a spread for their guest, along with plenty of coffee. Do not refuse this hospitality out of "politeness"; even if you are not hungry, eat! If you're really on a budget, you can save a considerable amount of money by '''self-catering'''. Ready-to-eat casseroles and other basic fare that can be quickly prepared in a microwave can be bought for a euro or two in any supermarket. ==Drink== Finns are reputedly the world's heaviest '''coffee''' (''kahvi'') drinkers, averaging an astounding nine cups per day. Finns usually drink theirs strong and black, although sugar and milk are usually available. '''Cardamom coffee''' (''kardemummakahvi'') is a deliciously spiced variation on the standard cuppa. Thanks to its thousands of lakes, Finland has plenty of water supplies and tap water is always drinkable. The usual soft drinks and juices are widely available, but look out for '''Pommac''', an unusual soda made from (according to the label) "mixed fruits" and a wide array of '''berry juices''' (''marjamehu''), especially in summer. ===Dairy=== Finland is one of the few societies on earth (the other being Mongolia) where it is considered normal for adults to drink '''milk''' as an accompaniment to food. Another popular option is ''piimä'', a type of buttermilk which resembles sour, runny yogurt in consistency and taste. ===Alcohol=== Image:Helsinki_IceBar_Packed2.JPG|thumb|240px|Chilling out at the Arctic Icebar, Helsinki '''Alcohol''' is very expensive in Finland, although low-cost Estonia's entry to the EU forced the government to cut alcohol taxes by 33% in 2004. Still, a single beer will cost you closer to 5€ in any bar or pub, or 2€ and up in a supermarket. While beer and cider are available in any supermarket or convenience store, the state monopoly [http://www.alko.fi/ Alko] is your sole choice for wine or anything stronger. The legal drinking age is 18 for milder drinks and 20 for hard liquor, and ID is usually required for any purchase. The national drink is not, as you might expect, Finlandia Vodka, but the earthier '''[http://www.kossu.org/eng/spirit/ Koskenkorva]''' (or '''Kossu'''), a vodka-like clear spirit (38%) distilled from barley. Even more lethal is '''Salmiakki-Kossu''', prepared by mixing in black ''salmiakki'' licorice, whose taste masks the alcohol behind it fearfully well. '''Beer''' (''olut'' or ''kalja'') is also very popular, particularly the ubiquitous '''Lapin Kulta''' and '''Karjala''' brands, both light lagers. Other popular beers are '''Olvi''', '''Koff''' and '''Karhu''' (''bear''). Pay attention to the label when buying: beers branded "I" are cheap but very low in alcohol, while "III" and "IV" are stronger and more expensive. You may also encounter ''kotikalja'' (lit. "home beer"), a dark brown beer-like but completely non-alcoholic beverage. The latest trend is '''ciders''' (''siideri''), but these artificially flavored sweet concoctions are quite different from the English or French kinds. The ever-popular '''gin long drink''' or ''lonkero'' (lit. "tentacle"), a prebottled mix of gin and grapefruit soda, tastes better than it sounds and has the additional useful property of glowing under ultraviolet light. During the winter don't miss '''glögi''', a Scandinavian version of mulled wine, served with almonds and raisins. The bottled stuff in stores is usually alcohol free, although it was originally made of old wine and Finns will very often mix in some wine or spirits. Finally, two traditional beverages worth looking for are '''mead''' (''sima''), an age-old wine-like brew made from honey and yeast and consumed particularly around May's Vappu festival, and '''sahti''', a type of unfiltered beer often flavored with juniper berries (an acquired taste). ==Talk== Finland is officially bilingual in Finnish phrasebook|Finnish and Swedish phrasebook|Swedish, and almost all towns have alternate Finnish and Swedish names. Swedish is spoken predominately in the South and West, especially along the Gulf of Bothnia and exclusively in the autonomous province of Åland. As well, many families in the greatly less-populated East speak Russian; however, Central and Northern Finland (barring Sámi and several 'extreme' Finnish dialects) are almost completely monolingual in what we can call "Standard" Finnish. Especially younger people in the larger cities understand English fairly well. ==Sleep== Accommodation in Finland is expensive. One of the few ways to limit the damage are to stay in youth hostels (''retkeilymaja''), which have a fairly comprehensive network throughout the country and usually cost less than 20€ per night. Another cheaper option is to take advantage of Finland's right to access, or '''Every Man's Right''' (''jokamiehenoikeus''), which allows camping, hiking, and berry and mushroom picking on uncultivated land. ===Hostels=== * [http://www.srmnet.org/ Finnish Youth Hostel Association] ==Learn== Finland's universities offer many exchange programs. ==Work== Citizens of European Union countries can work freely in Finland. Acquiring a work permit from outside the EU is, however, a significant hassle and there is little informal work to be found. ==Stay safe== Finland is, generally, a safe place to travel. Use common sense at night, particularly on Friday and Saturday when the youth of Finland hit the streets to drink, get drunk and in some unfortunate cases look for trouble. ==Stay healthy== There are few serious health risks in Finland. Your primary enemy especially in wintertime will be the '''cold''', particularly if trekking Lapland. Finland is a sparsely populated country and, if heading out into the wilderness, it is imperative that you register your travel plans with the authorities so they can come looking for you if you fail to show up. Dress warmly in layers and bring along a good pair of sunglasses to prevent '''snow blindness''', especially in the spring. A serious nuisance in summer are mosquitoes, hordes of which inhabit Finland (particularly Lapland) in summer, especially after rains. While they carry no malaria or other nasty diseases, Finnish mosquitoes make a distinctive (and highly irritating) whining sound while tracking their prey, and their bites are very itchy. As usual, mosquitoes are most active around dawn and sunset — which, in the land of the Midnight Sun, may mean most of the night in summer. Use repellent, ensure your tent has good mosquito netting and consider prophylaxis with '''cetirizine''' (brand names include ''Zyrtec''), an anti-allergen that (if taken in advance!) will neutralize your reaction to any bites. ==Respect== Finns are a famously '''taciturn''' people who have little time for small talk or social niceties, so don't expect to hear phrases like "thank you" or "you're welcome" too often. However, Finns are generally helpful and polite, and glad to help confused tourists if asked. You are unlikely to offend Finns by accident: there is little in the way of a dress code and '''topless sunbathing''' is common in the summer, although going ''au naturel'' is generally limited to dedicated nudist beaches. One tip to note, however, is that you should always take off your shoes when entering a Finnish household. ==Contact== Internet cafes are sparse on the ground in this country where everybody logs on at home and in the office, but nearly every '''public library''' in the country has free Internet access (although you will often have to register for a time slot in advance or queue). ==External links== * [http://www.visitfinland.com/ Visit Finland] (Finnish Tourist Board) * [http://virtual.finland.fi/ Virtual Finland] WikiPedia:Finland fr:Finlande ro:Finlanda de:Finnland First page | Prev | Next | Last page |
