The magic of the countryside and state-of-the-art city design are Finland's top tourist attractions. The main magnet remains the city of Helsinki, with its legendary Tavastia rock center and traditional Finnish saunas where you can enjoy relaxing massages. If you are more into nature, you can visit Linnansaari Park with its magnificent Haukivesi Lake and hundreds of picturesque islands.
Hotelhunter offers a wide range of comfortable guest establishments, and not only in Helsinki, where 79% of service users stay. You can book a hotel in any of over 30 tourist destinations in Finland, the main ones being:
- Rovaniemi is the birthplace of Santa Claus, attracting 12% of travelers;
- Saariselkä is a famous spa, preferred by 5% of visitors;
- Turku is the "Christmas city" where the main Christmas tree of the country is set up and where 4% of foreign tourists flock.
Regions such as Uusimaa, Lapland and Varsinais-Suomi are also gaining momentum.
Since hotel rates in Finland are quite high (the average cost of a double room is $ 189), the problem of saving money is relevant for many tourists. To solve it, use the following guidelines:
- giving up the frills, you can even find a cheap hotel in Helsinki that costs only $ 16 a night;
- if comfort matters to you, compare prices in 3-4 star hotels to find a compromise between service level and rate;
- take advantage of seasonal discounts that can reduce your fees by 45%; for example, in June in Rovaniemi you can rent a 3-star room from $ 67 and a 4-star room from $ 109;
- take advantage of the lucrative special offers from Finnish hoteliers, which will reduce fees by 20-25%;
- keep in mind the difference in tariffs on weekdays and weekends: from Sunday to Thursday they are usually $ 5-7 higher than on Friday and Saturday.
These simple life hacks will allow you to minimize your hotel room fees and spend the money you save on more fun things.
