Kick off in capital Helsinki, prowling the buzzing Design District and unwinding in excellent restaurants and bars. Hit Suomenlinna or an island restaurant to get a feel for the archipelago, and day trip to historic Porvoo s enchanting wooden buildings. Next head to Lappeenranta on the shores of Finland s largest lake. Then go by boat in summer it s gorgeous Savonlinna, where the stunning castle hosts an opera festival. From there, head to the heart of the Lakeland, Kuopio, another segment you can do on a lake boat. Try to time your visit to coincide with the convivial smoke sauna. The high latitudes are in evidence once you get to Oulu depending on the season, the sun barely sets or barely rises. It s one of Finland s liveliest towns, with a great summer marketplace. In winter stop in Kemi to see the snow castle and take an icebreaker cruise. Finally head to Rovaniemi, capital of Lapland and a great base for outdoor activities. From there, explore the north or get the sleeper train or fly back to Helsinki.

This trip can be done in a week, but take two if you can, giving yourself time for some of the numerous activities on offer. Rovaniemi is Lapland s capital and a logical place to start. It s also a good spot to hire a car. Santa Claus is the big crowd-puller here, but the real don t-miss attraction is the Arktikum museum. Further south, you can see some of the region s fauna at Ranua s zoo. Cut eastward to Ruka, a lively winter ski resort and activity base. Here, there s walking to be done in Oulanka National Park, including the Karhunkierros, one of Finland s best treks. You can also canoe or go bear-watching from nearby Kuusamo. From Ruka, head north via Kemijärvi to Sodankylä. Don t miss the wonderful old wooden church. Continue north through ever-more-sparsely populated territory; when you reach Urho Kekkonen National Park you re in one of Europe s great wildernesses. Take some time out for a hike across the fells, or try gold-panning at Tankavaara s Kultamuseo. Saariselkä is the best base to organise all sorts of summer and winter activities. Inari, one of Lapland s most intriguing towns, is the capital of Finland s Sámi, a handicrafts centre and home to the memorable Siida museum, where you ll learn a lot about the Sámi and the wildlife of these northern latitudes. Next it s nearby Lemmenjoki National Park, where treks, river trips, gold-panning and more Sámi culture await. With time, head up to Kevo Strict Nature Reserve for a great three- to four-day trek. Continue the loop towards northwest Finland, perhaps cutting through Norway and ending up at Hetta, another Sámi town and the trailhead for more excellent walking. If you have time, take a detour up the arm of Finland to remote Kilpisjärvi, in the shadow of fearsome Norwegian mountains and the smaller bulk of Saana Fell, a rewarding climb with some memorable views over three nations. Then head to Muonio. In winter you should go husky sledding, but even in summer it s worth meeting the lovable dogs. Finally, return to Rovaniemi, stopping to ski or rent a summer cottage at built-up Levi or peaceful Pyhä.

Take a few days to get to know Helsinki. Check out the Design Museum, then snoop around Punavuori s small studios and shops. See what s on at Kaapelitehdas and Korjaamo cultural centres, and pay Kiasma a visit. Fine-dining restaurants and quirky or just plain weird bars make evenings fly by. Catch a ferry across to Tallinn, Estonia s capital. The traditional architecture of the Old Town meets the post-soviet generation s creative energy in an intriguing mix. Sail back to Helsinki and head to Tampere, a model of post-industrial regeneration. Take in the city s bohemian vibe and stunning lakescapes, and head for a halfday trip down to Iittala to see the home of one of Finland s iconic design brands. Cut southwest down to Turku. The country s stateliest city has plenty going on, whether it s the Ruisrock festival or the latest exhibition in Ars Nova. Head back to Helsinki along the coast. Thirsty for more? Sort out your visa and the city of St Petersburg is just a train ride away. 10 DAYS Baltic & Bothnian Coasts This trip takes you through Swedish- and Finnish-speaking communities and gives the chance to see picture-perfect towns, sparkling blue water and decent beaches. Heading west from Helsinki, stop at the pretty ironworks village of Fiskars, near family-friendly, seaside Ekenäs. Then head on to the noble wooden villas of Hanko. Turku has many drawcards, as does the surrounding Turku Archipelago and picturesque Naantali. Further offshore, Åland offers cycling and maritime history. To the north, Uusikaupunki s museum deserves a prize for ironic humour, while Rauma features charming wooden buildings. Pori hosts a pumping jazz festival. The next coastline is Parallel Sweden : first stop Kristinestad with its Swedishspeaking majority. Vaasa has an excellent museum and kids attractions. West of here, Kvarken Archipelago is an ever-changing landscape of land rising from the seabed. Jakobstad s Old Town rivals Rauma s for beauty. Beyond here, beautiful coastline runs north to vibrant Oulu. Stop off at Hailuoto island for a stay by the beach; it s not often you can have a dip this far north.

8 OUR STORY A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end broke but inspired they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they d sold 1500 copies. Lonely Planet was born. Today, Lonely Planet has offices in Franklin, London, Melbourne, Oakland, Dublin, Beijing and Delhi, with more than 600 staff and writers. We share Tony s belief that a great guidebook should do three things: inform, educate and amuse.
