A country located in the Nordic region of Europe, Finland is often ranked as the happiest country in the world. Finns enjoy a lot of benefits from their homeland; high income rate, a top education system, and healthcare for all. There are a lot of things you have to know about Finland when you plan to visit this amusing country.

Let's start with their saunas. Saunas are very famous in Finland. While going to the spas and saunas to relax is a rare treat for us, for Finns they are just a regular occurrence, just as common as going to bars and pus to drink beer! The locals love to sweat out their daily woes while sitting in a sauna; chatting and contemplating life with friends and family.

In these saunas there are rules to follow and etiquette to be known, one of these is to wear a towel, so make sure to bring one with you although they would provide you one, but it's much better to bring your own. 

The Finns has a sport competition called Eukonkanto. It is a competition in which men have to carry their female teammate (traditionally their wives) and
race against other competitors through a special obstacle track and the one who finishes first is declared the winner. This sport has become quite the
tradition in Finland, with thousands having competed since its introduction in the early 19th Century.

And to get ready and compete for the EukonKanto, please don't forget to look at our collection below.

Individuals with a Finnish passport can access 175 countries around the world without a visa. It is the world’s third most powerful passport, after those
of Germany and Singapore.

Finland is also know to be the home of Santa Claus. the town of Rovaniemi in Lapland, is said to be the home of the original Saint Nicholas, the patron of children known for his generosity and gift-giving. The idea of visiting Santa in his real-life grotto is a dream for most children, but little do they know that it’s actually possible in Finnish Lapland (well, minus the real Santa bit). This magical winter wonderland is home to reindeer, snow-laden trees and ice hotels galore so you can live out your festive fantasies in style.

Going into these kind of places during winter, you should be mindful of what to bring and wear. You would need warm clothing that is why it is better to buy one for yourself; 

The Scandinavian country of Finland is also known as the land of a thousand lakes, and it is not surprising when you learn that Finland is thought to be home to almost 200,000 lakes in total! If you’re a lover of vast expanses of water, you’ll be enthralled by the number of peaceful, pristine lakes in Finland that are just begging to be explored. Some of the most impressive lakes in Finland include Lake Saimaa, Lake Pihlajavesi, Lake Haukivesi and Lake Päijänne.

As Finland is home to such epic landscapes, it would be a shame not to get out into the great outdoors and make the most of the sights. Thankfully, Finland offers a whole host of outdoor activities such as kayaking, hiking, skiing, dog sledding and cycling. No matter which season you visit Finland, they have come up with one way or another to enjoy nature.

Spend your summer boating between different islands, stopping off to try out the local’s favourite outdoor activities and looking out for birds and wildlife along the way. Make sure to also use the right equipments for every sport.
