Finland Hotels

In Finland, the sun reigns supreme in the summer, but barely makes it above the horizon during the winter - an extreme contrast, but a contrast that has helped shape the Finnish people and their relationship to the land. Over 75% of Finland is covered in woodlands filled with spruce, pine, and birch trees, while its northern region, Lapland (the home of Santa Claus), receives around 200 days of snow per year. Finland is also home to a staggering 188,000 lakes, and the Finnish people understand the importance of the natural world around them. Finland is a place where nature takes centre stage and offers visitors the chance to experience serene and untouched beauty - something that’s hard to find anywhere else.  
   
When it comes to tourism, Finland has plenty to offer and attracts millions of visitors each year. What draws them in? The answer is as diverse as the country itself. Finland is famous for its pristine landscapes, with national parks like Nuuksio and Oulanka, which offer some of the best hiking and wildlife watching in Europe. In the colder months, Finland transforms into a winter wonderland with where travellers can ski, go ice fishing, and have the chance to visit Santa Claus in his official hometown of Rovaniemi in Lapland. Moreover, Finland’s cities, especially Helsinki, pack so much in – like cutting-edge architecture and vibrant cultural scenes – that they have become beacons for anyone in search of a refined European experience.  
   
The vibe in Finland is tranquil and welcoming. Finns are known for their quiet and reserved nature, but in spite of this, they are incredibly warm and hospitable once you get to know them. Their adherence to personal space, and respect for nature creates a serene atmosphere that permeates the country. Finland is also a land of quirky traditions and unique festivals, like the Wife Carrying Championships and the Air Guitar World Championships – a window into the world of dry Finnish humour.  
   
Finnish cuisine is a reflection of its northern heritage, with dishes that are simple, hearty, and always made with fresh ingredients. The cuisine draws heavily on what nature provides, with fish, game, and berries playing a central role. Traditional dishes like Karjalanpiirakka, Ruisleipä and Poronkäristys are Finnish staples, and there’s also a big coffee culture in Finland - Finns consume more coffee per capita than any other nation.  
   
Overall, Finland is a land where the natural world and humanity coexist perfectly. Whether you’re drawn by the magical allure of the Northern Lights, the serenity of its lakes, forests and sauna culture, or the vibrant city life of Helsinki, Finland offers a unique experience. Finland is not just a place to be visited; it's a place to be experienced and cherished. And, with the help of dnata Travel, going smarter to Finland has never been easier.
