Finnish Tourist Board
This countrywide guide includes tourism data along with welcoming tips for all Finnish visitors. Get info by city (yup, Helsinki's here) or region, including tour itineraries, and events calendars. Proudly calls itself "the land of hundreds of thousands of saunas" - bring a towel.

Virtual Finland
The Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs takes its tourism seriously but its Web site is full of such fun fare as traditional recipes and a bird's-eye view of the country via a video shot from a hot-air balloon. There's plenty of sightseeing info, too.

Welcome to Helsinki
A detailed architectural history of the city, transportation guide, and parking tips distinguish this Finnish guide from so many others. We're particularly keen on the Helsinki Card, which lets tourists travel within the city for free.

Wild and Free/Finnish Travel Info
Armchair tourists and couch potatoes may as well skip this one! But if the idea of wilderness wandering, reindeer safaris, or Lapland dogteam travel lights your fire, you've come to the right place. Helicopter drop-offs available.
