About Finland
Finland's countryside, punctuated by huge forests and lakes, provides a beautiful backdrop to the bustle of capital city Helsinki. Located in the southern part of the country, Helsinki is filled with brilliant architecture and superb collections of national history and art.
Though not a large country, Finland offers a landscape that ranges from the flat western coast of Ostrobothnia, to the thickly forested heartland of Kainuu, to the gradually rising fells of Lappland.
