Travelzoo Best Bets: Where to Go in 2026 with Visit Finland

Описание: In episode four of our Travelzoo Best Bets Series, we head to Finland with Tarja Koivisto of Visit Finland to explore a year-round destination shaped by wellness, design, and wild beauty—where silence is a luxury and nature is always within reach.

We break down why Finland is one of Europe’s most restorative escapes, from 188,000 lakes and 3 million saunas to four regions that make trip planning effortless: Helsinki for architecture and food, Lakeland for calm, water-lined landscapes, the Coast and Archipelago for island-hopping freedom, and Lapland for snow-soft winters and glowing summer nights.

Tarja shares what makes Finland travel so accessible and rewarding:
Nonstop flights from major U.S. cities and easy rail connections
Sauna culture, from etiquette to the heat-and-plunge ritual Finns swear by
Everyman’s Right, Finland’s open-access tradition for walking, paddling, and foraging
Forest-to-table cuisine, from Karelian pies to classic salmon soup

Looking ahead to 2026, we highlight Oulu’s European Capital of Culture moment and slow-travel favorites like the Archipelago Trail from Turku, an island route perfect by car or e-bike. With safe cities, marked trails, and a culture that values quiet, Finland suits families, solo travelers, and soft adventurers alike.
