Finland, a strikingly picturesque country in Northern Europe, is one country not to be missed.
Its landscape changes from the breathtaking southern archipelago to the untamed region of Lapland, located just north of the Artic Circle. And
luckily, it’s easy to travel from one end of the country to the next through the different modes of transportation that are offered. In fact, it’s quite easy to explore the whole country during one stay. Here’s how.
By air
Finland is well serviced by air. Though it’s a relatively small country compared to other non-European destinations, it’s still served by more than 20 airports, which are situated in just about every major region of the country. And since fares within the country are fairly reasonable, it might make sense to travel by air. That’s especially true if visiting both southern and northern sections of the country since a bus or train ride can take up to 15 hours or so to arrive from one end of the country to the other.
By rail
Traveling by rail is a great way to see the Finland topography. And since the Finish rail network is so extensive, you won’t have a problem reaching any destination on your itinerary, even if it includes cities in the northern region of Lapland. It won’t break the bank either. If purchasing the Finnrailpass, you’ll be able to travel up to 10 days throughout the country with one ticket. And Finnish trains are kid friendly. Children under six travel for free while those up to the age of 16 only have to pay 50% of the fare.
By bus
If looking to save money during your trip, traveling by bus is a good option. These buses cover most of the country and depart frequently to make it worth your while. If buying a bus pass, you’ll save even more money. These convenient passes are good for either seven or 14 days and include unlimited travel.
By car
Though renting a car in Finland might be more convenient than hopping on a bus or catching a train, its cost will be higher. There are deals that you can find so just shop around if you have your mind set on renting a car. Overall, roads are in good condition, but traveling in the winter can be a bit trying if you’re inexperienced in driving in the snow.
