Finlande : Go with a local agency

Helsinki, Little St. PetersburgHelsinki, at the crossroads between Northern Europe and Russia, is remarkable by its neoclassical architecture that it must, like St. Petersburg, to the architect Engel. It is a city rich in its colourful and living markets, including the port market on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, its cafés to terraces flooded with sun in summer, its concerts in the open air, its parks bordering the sea.Archipelago to 40 000 islandsOn the south-west coast Turku, the ancient historical capital at the time of Swedish domination, is encircled by an archipelago of several thousand islands: 40 000 islands of all sizes from Turku to Åland Islands. Unique in Europe, the archipelago also benefits from the best sunshine in the Nordic countries!The Country of the Thousand LakesNicknamed the Country of the Thousand Lakes, Finland has some 187 888, a true bluish labyrinth of lakes, islands, rivers and embroidered canals of forests.Nature and outdoor activitiesIn Finland nature is omnipresent: vast forests, lakes and rivers, islands and hills. As a winter, Finns enjoy this nature. A wide variety of activities await you: canoeing or fishing on one of the countless lakes, cycling or hiking in the many national parks, but also golf, bird watching, rafting. Winter sports allow you to enjoy the joys of riding, skiing, ice skates, sledding or snowmobiling. A local agency will be able to organize a tailor-made circuit by combining the activities that really match you.The Polar Night and the Aurora BorealisImagine a blue winter with a polar night celebrating the aurora borealis, a true ballet of magic in the winter sky. Accompanied by an expert guide commissioned by a local agency, you really increase your chances of seeing these magic aurores, not obvious to identify for the unknown.
From a global perspective, life in Finland is more expensive than in France. So the destination is not particularly economic. In the north of the country prices are lower except for gasoline sold at truly prohibitive prices. In Helsinki, full prices are the same as in France.

FormalitésAs Finland has ratified the Schengen Agreement, European Union nationals come on presentation of a valid national identity card or passport. For stays of more than three months, apply for a stay with the competent police services.
