Finland Travel - Rough Guides

Drawing strong influences both from its easterly neighbour, Russia, as well as from the West, Finland remains one of Europe's most enigmatic countries. It's a land best known for its laconic, pithy people with a penchant for kicking back in a sauna sans vÃªtements, and for its quirky and bizarre annual festivals â its strangeness is a good part of its charm. And while it's far from a budgeteer's paradise, there are definitely ways to save â that is, if you know where to drink.
