Helsinki

Great deals on flights to Helsinki, Finland. Visit us and book cheap flights to Helsinki.

Travel to Finland and Helsinki and you are technically in Scandinavia. But not entirely typical Scandinavia as here we find an interesting blend of east, north and west.

LAND OF A THOUSAND LAKES

We would recommend you book your flights to Helsinki and find out what we are talking about. Up in the high Arctic, Finland has borders with both Sweden, Norway and Russia. Russian influences on Helsinki are obvious and although the relationship between those two nations has had its ups and downs throughout the centuries, today bygones are bygones. Many Finns are generally more related to the Russians and the Baltic nations than they are to the Scandinavians. Their language tells it’s story, totally unlike any of the other Nordic languages. Although sharing Icelandic’s hard “r”-‘s and Icelanders sometime being taken for Finns abroad, the resemblance ends there, as Icelandic is closest to the original of all the Nordic languages, while Finnish is a totally different matter with its eastern origins.

But these are only curiosities and none of this has any bearing on Helsinki and Finland as a destination unless to make it even more interesting. And it should thereby not discourage anyone’s aspirations for booking our cheap flights to Finland. And the Finns are no less fun to visit and their country is no less beautiful and enchanting than the other neighboring countries. Often called the land of a thousand lakes it is very popular to rent a cabin on the wooded banks of one of the thousand lakes and spend some days in total tranquility, sitting on the porch in the hot summer sun, taking walks in the forest to cool down and then catching some trout or perch for the barbeque dinner in the evenings.

RELAXED MODE

Helsinki itself is architecturally a blend of Stockholm and old Russian cities. And it is brimming with life in a relaxed mode during the hot summer months. Outdoor cafés, restaurants of the highest order, shopping streets, and most of the scenic sites within walking distance in the city center. Need we say more? Isn’t it time you booked your flights to Helsinki?
