Finland and its beauties

                            Finland, large expanses and high tech
From the plains of Lapland to the city utratecnologiche. Journey to discover a country that fascinates for its contradictions





Finland is known for its unspoiled nature. Immense forests, an enchanting archipelago and thousands of lakes that offer a unique view. In addition to nature typically Nordic, is a modern country with a high standard of living, an advanced economy and technology. The largest company in the country is called Nokia and has a monopoly of mobile phones worldwide. Another is the national carrier, Finnair, which this year celebrates the 45th anniversary of its first flight.















Although the summer you can practice many outdoor activities, is mainly the Finnish winter to attract tourists, despite the bitter cold and dark days. In winter, in Lapland falls a long night that kaamos, during which the sun does not rise, but remains below the horizon. This phenomenon lasts almost two months in the northernmost part of the country. In summer, however, the nights are clear and, in the north, the sun remains constantly above the horizon for several weeks. This phenomenon is called the midnight sun.





Snow is still the element that prevails in every corner of Finland from the beginning of December to April. In the village of Santa Claus, Rovaniemi (an unforgettable experience for adults and children), the contact with nature is guaranteed. Here you make safari with huskies or reindeer sledding, hiking cross-country skiing, skating on the frozen lakes, forest walks with snowshoes, snowmobile adventures and ice fishing. From experience, a night in an ice hotel or in an igloo and cruise aboard a icebreaker with a lot of swimming in the icy waters of the Baltic. The lucky ones, then, can attend one of the most exciting spectacles of nature: the Aurora Borealis. Remain amazed even those who opt for a visit to Helsinki, the capital, a vibrant city with a dynamic urban center with its shops, galleries and museums and a beautiful design district. And, in December, the city is colored Christmas markets.
