Finland is generally considered a Scandinavian country. Geographically, it is, bordered to the west by Sweden and to the north by Norway. However, the country also shares its history with Russia, with whom she has a third land border to the east. Sweden ruled Finland from Viking times until 1809, when the country was ceded to Tsarist Russia as a spoil of war. Independence came only in 1917, since when Finland has been struggling to assert her sense of nationhood while at the same time performing an international balancing act between east and west. The Finnish language, related to Estonian and Hungarian and having little in common with either Swedish or Russian, remains a powerful symbol of independence.

The majority of Finns live in the three major cities of southern Finland: the capital, Helsinki, Turku, and Tampere. Nevertheless, a great love of open spaces and outdoor activities is a key element in the national character. Many families have log cabins in the forest, usually by a lake and equipped with a sauna. This is where they spend weekends and holidays cross-country skiing in winter, or hiking, canoeing, or fishing in summer. Back in the cities, the enduring Finnish affection for nature is reflected in the imaginative modern architecture, which has won international acclaim throughout the 20th century.

Driving
Vehicle documents
An International Driving Permit is not mandatory in Finland. Green Card insurance is honoured, but check with your motor-vehicle insurance company regarding necessary documents and whether additional insurance is required. You will need to display a sticker indicating where the car is insured. Rules Of The Road
Always carry your full valid driving licence or International Driving Permit, vehicle registration documents, and insurance documents with you in the car. Traffic drives on the right, and vehicles coming from the right have priority at crossroads. Use of seat belts is compulsory in front and rear seats, and children under 15 must sit in the back. Sounding your horn is permitted only when necessary. It is advisable to drive with dipped headlights at all times, though in towns this is not obligatory. The highest level of alcohol permitted in your bloodstream when driving is 50 mg per 100 ml (5g/l)Driving Tips
Snow can present problems for drivers in Finland. Snow tyres must be fitted for the period December to Febuary. Studded tyres are permitted from 1 November to the first Sunday after Easter, or when conditions justify them. Both snow tyres and studded tyres can be hired at ISKO shops (automobile equipment stores) in Finland. Another hazard you may encounter is wandering elk, deer, or reindeer, especially at dusk. If you hit one, you must notify the police immediately.
