WHERE IS FINLAND?

Finland is a Northern European nation bordering Sweden, Norway, and Russia. Its capital, Helsinki, occupies a peninsula and surrounding islands in the Baltic Sea. Helsinki is home to the 18th-century sea fortress Suomenlinna, the fashionable Design District, and diverse museums. The Northern Lights can be seen from the country’s Arctic Lapland province, a vast wilderness with national parks and ski resorts

I DON’T SPEAK ANY FINNISH, WILL I MANAGE?

If you speak English, you should not have any difficulties as most Finns speak fluent (or at least understandable) English.

WHAT’S THE CAPITAL CITY & THE CURRENCY?

Good question, the capital city of Finland is Helsinki and the currency in Finland is Euro.

HOW FRIENDLY ARE FINNISH PEOPLE?

Finnish people are warm, open, and sincere, even though they might tell you the exact opposite.

If you’ve ever met a Finn, chances are they’ve mentioned the reserved nature of their countrymen. Be not afraid – we’re (Finnish) not taciturn brutes. Finns are talkative and hospitable, but the myth of the withdrawn Finn is still alive and well inside Finland. And Finns, with their self-deprecating wit, will be the first to let foreigners in on it. An example of a Finnish joke: “An introverted Finn looks at his shoes when talking to you; an extroverted Finn looks at your shoes”.

HOW’S THE ECONOMY OF FINLAND?

The economy of Finland is a highly industrialised, mixed economy with a per capita output similar to that of western European economies such as France, Germany and the United Kingdom.
