    Dawn

    Asked on March 28th, 2026

    We complete a Norway tour on 9th September, and we're thinking 11th for this one? We haven't been to Finland, but unfortunately our time there has been cut, so would like the best option for 5 days we have?

    Tour Details
    • Travel Addicts ClubOperator•Written March 2026

      Starting on the 11th sounds good after your Norway tour. For your 5 days in Finland, a great option is the 5-day Helsinki & South Karelia tour. It includes a few days in Helsinki plus a trip to Lappeenranta and Lake Saimaa, giving you a nice mix of city sights and Finnish nature without rushing. It's simple and well-organized—perfect for a first-time visit.

    Asked on March 5th, 2024

    I will be coming from Tallinn by ferry and would need an extra hotel room for June 29. Also would very much like to see an opera in the castle on Savonlinna. If that requires an extra night in Lappeenranta that would be fine. I am a solo traveler.
