Finland is renowned for its pristine wilderness, vibrant cities, and rich cultural heritage. From the cosmopolitan streets of Helsinki to the remote wilderness of Lapland, this country offers a choice of experiences for curious travellers. Holidays to Denmark in the summer months benefit from extra-long days when the sun seems pinned to the sky. In winter, the horizon comes alive over Finland and tours to Helsinki gain a chance to see the Northern Lights.
Join us as we explore Finland's enchanting landscapes, delve into its fascinating history, and immerse ourselves in the warmth of Finnish hospitality. Whether you want to savour the rich flavours of Finnish cuisine, experience cultural encounters, or simply enjoy a moment of serenity amidst nature's splendour, Finland welcomes you with open arms.

The stylish and beautiful port city of Helsinki is the world's second most northerly capital city (after Reykjavik in Iceland). It regards itself as a city where East meets West, having been heavily influenced by Eastern and Western culture. Helsinki is surrounded by a beautiful archipelago of hundreds of tiny islands - a beautiful region which can be explored on a scenic boat cruise (there are many available to choose from). The city is also filled with nature in its many public parks and open spaces. Within Helsinki you can see evidence of 450 years of the city's history in the architecture of its buildings. Finland is famous for its design styles, all of which can be seen in the country's capital.
