Four regions of Finland

Each Finnish region has their own unique characteristics: the vibrant Helsinki region blending urban sophistication with coastal charm, the enchanting Coast and Archipelago with thousands of islands dotting the Baltic Sea, the serene Lakeland region home to countless pristine lakes and forests, and magical Lapland where the Midnight Sun and Northern Lights dance above the wilderness. On this page, you'll find inspiration about the fantastic four.
