Finland is known as the “happiest country in the world”, but have you ever wondered how to navigate your way there?
This country is more than saunas, heavy metal, and forests. And there are some things to prepare for when planning a trip there (especially some winter clothes).
Our travel guide is here to help you prepare for a trip to Finland. We’ll show you where to stay, what to pack, and even look at the best ways to get around Finland.
You can get around Finland using trains, buses, plains, bicycles, and most recently, even sleighs!
We strongly recommend using the train, which will allow you to navigate to most parts of the country via Helsinki Central Station.
There are high-speed trains as well as slower trains, and “sleeper trains” for longer journeys. We also loved that the trains have children’s cars with play areas for the little ones.
Buses are also a great option to travel in Finland. Vakiovuoro buses stop more frequently and we found it to be a budget-friendly option for tourists.
Pikavuoro express buses travel more quickly between cities and are a bit pricier.
If you prefer the scenic route and a sense of adventure, make use of the well-integrated routes for exploring Finland by bicycle. We also loved the ferries, which are another popular option for tourists.
