Weekend tours to Finland are a great opportunity to drop everything and go to fabulous Lapland. Finland is available at any time of the year. In summer, short "weekend" tours usually involve rest on the shores of lakes. And winter in Finland means sports and shopping.
How to get there
The most frequent guests of Suomi are, of course, residents of St. Petersburg. But residents of the capital do not refuse such an opportunity. You can get to Finland in all possible ways - by plane, by train, by car and by bus (six to seven hours on the way).
The cost of the flight "Moscow - Helsinki" in the budget version starts from 8,700 rubles (flight time is about two hours). A three-day trip for two to Helsinki will cost about 51,000 rubles.
What can be seen
After all the interesting places in Helsinki have been examined, you can make a trip to Turku. This ancient city is famous for its fortresses, the history of which goes back more than one century. It is here that the famous Moomin Valley is located. You will need to devote the whole day to the trip (it is advisable to first check the excursion program with the tour operators). This is the main program, as pleasant bonuses are visits to water parks and ski resorts.
Finland is great for families with children. Toddlers will love the ride to Santa Claus Residence. Moreover, you can visit the Finnish Santa Claus on a hot summer day.
Finland has a huge number of lakes and the count goes not even to tens, but thousands. That is why weekend tours to Finland will be very interesting for avid fishermen. Everyone can try their hand, even if they have never held a fishing rod before.
If the bites are not of interest, then you can just rent a house and pamper yourself with a real Finnish sauna. Walking tours are also popular. These ecological routes allow you to get to know Finland very closely.
We should also highlight the Christmas weekend tours. And this is already a real New Year's fairy tale with all possible attributes - riding a reindeer sleigh, a trip to the house of Santa Claus and, of course, launching fireworks.
