Information and maps

Most towns have some sort of
tourist office
, with free maps and information, which sometimes book accommodation. In summer they open daily, usually for long hours in more popular centres; in winter, opening hours will be much reduced, if they open at all. Specific opening hours are given in the text. The best general
map
of Finland is the
Daily Telegraph
one; there is also an excellent map in the
Finland: Budget Accommodation
booklet, available from tourist offices.
Finland is very Internet-friendly. The best starting point is to check out the tourist office
Web
sites
of the place you are visiting (listed in the guide) and browse for local links. Useful general sites include
www.mek.fi
, the official Finnish Tourist Board site, and
www.finland.org
, the Finnish embassy in USA site. Other useful information
for tourists (each section contains more specific sub-sections): |
