First-timers to Finland? If you have never been to Finland, North Lapland is the ultimate Finnish place of adventure. Lapland envelopes you in a genuine Lapland-like environment: Reindeer, Santa, snow and more snow!
Just in case you can't make it all the way up to Finnish Lapland we found a lapp shelter in western Finland close to Lempäälä where you can rest at a cozy firepit while roasting hotdogs, giving you the feeling of being above the arctic circle.
Fishing in Kuusamo on water (Yes, I said 'On the water!')Could this be considered extreme? It means you'll be walking with your boots,(sometimes knee high) on a layer of vegetation. Squash,Squash!! Be careful to avoid the streams under the vegetation.
Finnish cities of attraction. Cities to consider as a first-timer to Finland are Kotka, Savonlinna, Imatra, Helsinki area, Turku and Tampere.
Childrens Attractions in Finland
Since taking a holiday vacation in Finland is not the cheapest, you may want to find some more reasonable attractions for children. This is what locals do. We took Tomi and Rosa to Valkeakoski during a hot summer day.
Attractions along the roadsides. Few are aware, while driving on road E12/3 from Tampere to Seinäjoki, along the roadside in Jalasjärvi is a small tourist attraction for cheese lovers. At the Juustoportti cheese plant...taste fresh cheese, and find deals. Plus...shop at Finnish designer stores like Marimekko and Pentik, while seeing how Finnish cheese is made.
Almost any main road has these types of sites/attractions.
Along highways and motorways in Finland there are numerous places you can stop, take a break and see more than just the road.
In July on our way back from Helsinki we stopped along the highway at this lookout tower. It is 10 pm.
While driving along the E12/3 coming from direction Helsinki(Behind us is the Ojoinen-Jutikalla lookout tower. 20m drive before Iitala) There is rock everywhere...

Rock climbing for kids..this wall is more for a pro!.

The walk up to this tower takes 5 minutes. The tower is made mostly of steel with steel spiral steps. The height is over 20 meters, and well over 50 meters from sea-level.
Cheap thrills... if you're not in the mood for bumper cars or roller coasters. At the top! The view from above of the rest area and car. Viewing the Finnish landscape from the top of the Ojoinen-Jutikalla tower.
