Finland Tours & Trips in 2025/26

A land of vast forests, pristine lakes, and none other than Santa Claus’ home — Finland is one heck of a cool customer. Kick off in its cosmopolitan capital Helsinki, overflowing with gorgeous architecture and all manner of drinking holes and dining venues — many right by the water’s edge. Then, head out into the wilderness — after all, two-thirds of the country is covered in forest. Rovaniemi in snowy Lapland is the place to go in the winter. Expect husky-sledding adventures, campfires, woodland saunas, and a chance to see those magical Northern Lights.
