Hostelling Information

Hostelling in Finland

Trek above the Arctic Circle; cross-country ski over silent, winter fells; canoe across forest-fringed lakes; listen to the music of Sibelius in the composer's home country; experience the light summer nights in the land of the midnight sun. From the striking architecture of the capital, Helsinki, to the fishing and sailing paradise of the Aland archipelago and the wilderness wonders of Lapland, there is a rich choice of culture and nature in Finland. The south offers the national art collections and the islands of the Baltic Sea; the lakes and rivers of central Finland present the pleasures of fishing, swimming and rafting; while the north of the country is a land of moose, reindeer and pine forests - and on clear nights in the autumn and winter the eerie spectacle of the northern lights can be seen here. Finland's hostels are well located for exploring Europe's seventh largest country, and many offer opportunities for such intrinsically Finnish activities as taking a sauna and gathering mushrooms and berries in woodland.
