Finland

Santa's country is not really a gift for riders...flat, with never ending straight lines. Thanks god, finnish people are warm and welcoming, and nature lovers will enjoy the many lakes and forests.

Roads interest

If you cannot imagine a 400 km straight line, go there !!

Road surface quality

Roads are not funny, but their surfacing is perfect.

Landscapes

Country has some charm, nature is wild, with many lakes and forests. It's a bit sad it is so uniform.

General atmosphere / safety

Northern Europe standards : warm and relaxing. No reason to worry about it.

Car drivers behaviour

Calm, careful and respectful. And don't forget that finnish drivers are some of the best in rally and Formula 1 !!

Speed controls

Excepted around big cities, I did not notice some . Ride carefully and there won't be any problem.

If your are from European union, passport or identity card are enough.

  • 1 L of fuel: 1.18 E
  • 1 night in camping: 12 E in tent, 30 E in cottage
  • 1 night in hotel : from 45 E

Michelin n°711

Hello,

You are right, the main roads are mostly boring but you must take the smaller side roads which are mostly very hairy and having reasonable condition and there are really nice landscapes.

Car drivers are, in general, friendly but some of them can't tolerate bikers passing and some aggressive behavior may occur some times.

Best regards and safe riding in Finland
