West Coast Municipalities

Finland is perhaps best known for its peacefulness and beautiful nature. Vast forests, a unique archipelago and thousands of lakes present a striking mixture of wooded hills and waters.


In addition to its mystical northern nature, Finland is also a modern Nordic country with a high standard of living and advanced economy and technology. The city of Oulu is big enough to offer all the facilities and attractions of a lively metropolis, including restaurants and hotels.
