Consider arriving outside of Helsinki

If you're traveling to Finland for a non-urban adventure, consider flying to a regional airport like Rovaniemi (gateway to Lapland and Santa HQ) or Tampere (gateway to the lakes). This is definitely one of the top Things about Finland You Should Know. Once in Finland, public transportation is reasonably priced and efficient, with trains and buses connecting major cities and towns. However, if you plan on venturing into the wilderness, you should plan on renting a car due to the large distances involved. Pack snacks and drinks for the travel, as there are few services between hubs.

Lapland has been referred to as Europe's last wildness. Wild forests of pine, spruce, and birch extend beyond the line of sight here, on the Arctic's edge. Despite its isolated location, getting here and getting around is simple and convenient, and Lapland's large support service network helps to make productions, both behind and in front of the camera, run as smoothly as possible. However, the roads leading north to Lapland are frequently deserted, but in winter, keep an eye out for reindeer (the Porokello app warns of high-risk reindeer-crash regions) and ice.
