Savings: You can spend a holiday in Finland much more inexpensively than in other countries. Spend the money you save on flights on train travel and experiences.

Remember this: Finns may not necessarily know enough about tourist destinations in their own country. Attitudes towards domestic travel may also be dismissive.
