Finland Convention Bureau

One-tenth of Finland is covered in bodies of water that are brimming with fish, luring both local and foreign fishing enthusiasts to grab their nets and rods.

Whether you are shopping or just exploring, the Finnish capital is a city with serious style credentials.

In the summer the city overflows with events and festivals: tango, middle age, music, theatre, art, design and much more.

Plenty of gradients and the terrain varies from bare rock and undulating sandy ground to ancient spruce forests with tree roots and gravel ridges – perfect for taking it to the max.

Tampere has the small town feel: the city centre is compact in size, and has a friendly atmosphere.

Suomenlinna fortress island is one of Finland's most popular sights, only a short ferry crossing away from Helsinki.
