Before going there by hitchhike you should know that it's not common to hitch-hike in Finland anymore. But I should say that we were lucky enough as finnish people stopped their cars for us very often. Don't try to stop the cars on higways - it's forbidden to stop there. A good place for to catch a car: oil stations, some steps behind the last bus stop or some steps before the hihway starts. Enjoy! :) Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Ring I by Gili_S
In the summer is easy to drive as it is so much light, at winter, the oposite, dark and usually icey and snow.
Remember that in Scandinavia (Finland, Sweden, Norway) you are obligate to have driving light at any time while driving, also during the summer days.
To check road conditions, see the next link, it is also has hundreds of road web cameras.

In such cases you might turn to VR (National Railway), which to be honest is not always the best idea because of their confusing system of reserving tickets/seats and costy fares. But give it a shot: http://www.vr.fi/heo/eng/index.html
I suggest you try Matkahuolto. This is a nationwide net of busconnections, which does deliver not only you but your luggage as well anywhere in Finland at a fair price. Students appreciate Matkahuolto because they give 50% reduction - even for foreign students! Leave a Comment

Renting a car was super relaxed in Finland. I arranged for it before I left home. The car was brought to the hotel in Oulu, the guy put it in the nearby parking garage for me and gave me the ticket. On our return I just parked it there again, gave keys and ticket to the hotel reception and that was it!
Back home, I received a receipt by mail for filling up the gast tank.
The expected charges for bringing and picking up the car to and from the hotel (two times € 13) were not charged at all. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 On the motorway at Rush hour
;) by sabsi
a) slow (because you can only drive 80 and maybe the truck in front of you goes only 60 ;)
b) dangerous (because some people don't know how to overtake)
c) a pain in the arse (because it takes ages to get from A to B)
So for longer trips through Finland I'd take a train maybe?! Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home
