If you are looking for Finland tour packages, it is important for you to understand the geography and history of the country first, It is a progressive welfare state with pleasant suburban areas and metropolitan areas. Furthermore, it features significant stretches of wilderness that have seen little to no human development. About 10% of Finland is made up of lakes and islands, totaling over 188,000. It is possible to witness both the wintertime Northern Lights and the summertime Midnight Sun in the country’s far north. In Finland, Santa Claus is said to reside on Korvatunturi, a mythological mountain, and there is a burgeoning Santa-themed tourism sector in Lapland.
Despite being one of the most technologically sophisticated countries, Finns like spending time in their summer cottages engaging in traditional activities like taking a sauna, swimming, fishing, and barbecuing. Finland’s language and culture are distinct from those of its fellow Nordic countries.
Finland shares a lot of cultural and historical similarities with Scandinavia, yet it is not geographically a part of Scandinavia. The term “Nordic nations,” which includes Finland, is more accurate but is rarely used even among Finns (Pohjoismaat). But many features common to Scandinavian urban centres may be found in the country’s capital, Helsinki. The downtown area’s buildings, for instance, have a strong Scandinavian feel, and Swedish, another Scandinavian language, is one of the two official languages.
Most of Finland consists of low, flat, or rolling plains with lakes and little hills here and there, in contrast to the rugged landscapes of Norway and Sweden. Finland’s highest peak, Fell Halti, is just 1,328 metres high, and mountains (of any kind) are found only in the country’s far north. Incorrectly referred to as the “Land of a Thousand Lakes,” the Geological Survey of Finland estimates that there are really 187,888 lakes in Finland. The number of islands in the sea and the lakes has been estimated at 179,584. Because of this, the nation is an excellent spot to enjoy watercraft.
