Finland Road Trip Itinerary – Santa Clause, Reindeer, Sauna & Mosquitos!<\/h1>\n

I finally did it! I had reached the most northern part in Europe and the North Cape was totally worth<\/a><\/strong> the extra kilometers Louie and I had to drive to get to the famous cliff. The northern part of Norway had been an absolute pleasure. It was time for my\u00a0Finland Road Trip Itinerary!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s go!<\/p>\n

With my adventure on the Lofoten Islands<\/a><\/strong> and a visit to “The Globe” statue at the North Cape, my journey through the land of \u00a0Fjords had ended. I had to drive into a southern direction and about 200 km down the road was the border of Finland.<\/p>\n

Finland; the land of Santa Clause, reindeer, sauna’s and mosquitos! I was excited was for this one. Oh yes, and slowly but surely I would experience nighttime again as I had not seen darkness for the last 3 weeks due to the midnight sun!<\/p>\n

\"Finland
Welcome to Finland!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Finland Road Trip – What Route Should You Take?<\/h2>\n

On this Finland Road Trip, I came down from the North Cape. I passed the following cities: Rovaniemi, Oulu, Lahti and Helsinki. The distance was almost 1,500 Km with a total driving time of 20 hours.<\/p>\n

Planning a trip to Finland is not that difficult. Everybody speaks very good English and all the roads and routes are of great quality. I was wondering though;<\/p>\n

Would Finland be an interesting place to visit during the summer?<\/strong><\/p>\n
