Recreation types

Usually in Finland They go for at least three reasons: the first is the cultural and natural attractions of local cities and neighborhoods (see more on the page of Finland's sights) . Visit the Finnish capital of Helsinki, with a visit to the church in the rock, unusual museums, unique monuments of wooden architecture and nearby islands is included in the mandatory program of sightseeing tours . Most often, in addition, as another major about the destination is considered the oldest city in the south of the country, Turku port . There really is something to see besides the wonderful seaside landscapes, and the nearby amusement park "Country of the Moomin Trolls" clearly demonstrates what a real Finnish fairy tale means, albeit written in Swedish .

The schedule of the work of the "Moomin-troll country" in Naantali: in the summer, from June 7 to August 14, every day, from 10:00 to 18:00, from 15 to 28 August, each day, from 12.00 to 18.00. In winter, from February 18 to February 26, from 10:00 to 16:00. The ticket price for one day is 22 EUR. Children under the age of three are free. Getting from Turku to the park is quite simple: either by buses No. 110 and No. 11 from the central square, or by a special shuttle bus (Moomin Bus), which takes visitors from certain hotels. The trip on this bus for an adult is 6 EUR, for a child from 14 to 3 years - 3 EUR. Children of younger age are free.

Another reason attracting no fewer tourists, both in winter and in summer, is the stunning numerous lakes of Finland . The cleanest water bodies become a place of pilgrimage for both fishermen and lovers of relaxing and bathing . You can rent a separate cottage or settle in the village . In summer, the surrounding forests are full of berries: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries - and mushrooms . Careful protection of fishing grounds will allow to catch a really big catch, and the presence of the boat admire the setting sun on the shore . In winter you can tackle ice fishing, combining it with sledging or cross-country skiing .

Choosing the place of the future location of the cottage, in addition to the presence of a reservoir, the proximity of large cities, ski resorts and cultural attractions. This will significantly diversify the rest.

And perhaps the most important article of tourist income in Finland is winter tourism. They come here for relatively inexpensive, in comparison with other European resorts, rest. Skiing and snowboarding are the main sports. However, do not expect from the local mountains and service miracles. True to professionals, there is nothing to conquer in Finland, but for beginners, skating will be just right.

Also a huge number of guests, ready for this for a long trip, are attracted by the main Lapland landmark - the village of Santa Claus. Northern reindeer, elves, amusement park and many other things will be a real holiday for the child, but prices during the winter holidays for everything from meals to living nearby will be maximum. For a more "adult" population, the snow village of Lainio was invented, with a hotel, a bar and ice sculptures. To their services is also the Finnish sky with the northern lights.

If you translate the Finnish name of the Northern Lights into Russian, it will mean "fox bonfires". The fact is that the ancestors of the Finns believed that the spectacle in the sky was nothing but sparks carved by the tail of fire foxes
