Car Hire Helsinki

Traveling in Helsinki

The freedom of renting a car in Finland means you will never be constrained by the hassle of bus tours or public transportation.  You will be able to see the places you want to see and spend as much time as you need at each destination.  Finland is a great country to travel around because of its diverse landscapes and unique cities.

Helsinki is the capital and most populated city in Finland.  Art Nouveau and neo-classical architectural styles make up the Helsinki skyline.  The Lutheran Cathedral in Senate Square is the most iconic building in the city.  The Finnish National Theater, Market Square and the National Museum are other must see tourist destinations.  If you are here in the summer, you will want to spend some time on the beautiful coast next to the Gulf of Finland.   

Incredible Landscape

To the west of Helsinki, wedged between the Gulf of Bothnia and the Gulf of Finland lies the Archipelago Sea.  Technically part of the Baltic Sea, this impressive archipelago has been crowned the largest in the world due to its countless quantity of islands. 

In the winter, head to the northern province of Lapland and stay at the Snow Castle in Kemi.  The hotel is made completely of snow and ice and will keep you warm even if the outside temperature is cold.  After a good night’s rest, take a ride on the Sampo, an icebreaking tourist ship on the Gulf of Bothnia.

The summer months mean you can experience the vast Lake District and the hot sun.  The lakes are numerous and the fun is nonstop in this wilderness paradise.  Stay at a luxurious hotel or camp in one of 16 national parks before exploring the terrain.
