VISIT FINLAND'S MANY FACES
Finland’s landscapes are a glorious variation on the themes of
forest and water, where the comforts of modern life are never
far away. Yet each region has its distinct character, from the
wilds of Lapland to the inspiring lakes of the East and the
archipelagos of the South-West. Finland is full of interesting
contrasts, such as the four seasons, the midnight sun and the
long winter nights and the different cultural heritages to the
Eastern and Western parts of the country.

Nature Extraordinaire
Relatively new
for the ordinary tourist, but exciting and interesting,
wildlife watching is fast becoming a popular pastime for
visitors to Northern Finland. From humble beginnings just a
few years ago this unique opportunity is
now
available in many places, especially in the North-Eastern
region of Kainuu. So much so that Wild Taiga, offering a
combination of wildlife watching and other outdoor
activities supported by an insight into local heritage and
traditions plus a world-class chamber music festival,
recently won the title of Finland’s emerging tourist
destination of excellence in the European Commission project
Destinations of Excellence. Bear watching is perhaps the
most popular, and thrilling, of the wildlife themes, but the
range is much wider, from bird-watching, often with species
uncommon in Western or Southern Europe, to rare mammals like
flying squirrel or carnivores like wolverines.
Carry Your Wife and Throw Your Phone!
“Your dark night teaches you the
truth of the moon. Life is not intended to be only solar,
and indeed the cool, blue shadows of the moon have a special
beauty. You can live in that beautiful glow, that light
shaded by painful experiences and doubts and lack of
understanding. Life is often more buoyant there than it is
in solar brilliance.”
– from Dark Nights of the Soul by Thomas Moore
Finland nights make your
all dreams
come true. You and your wife can enjoy true love.
Blue shadows of moon make your personal life beautiful and
charming. Just throw your mobile and sit for a while with
your beloved wife and feel the beauty of love and passion.
Close your eyes and think of moonlight shimmering on the
water of a beautiful harbour. Or think of the glassy calm of
a lake, disturbed only by the occasional ripple from a
rising fish. In Finland, you’re never far from the water: no
wonder it plays such an important role in the Finnish summer
holiday.
