A team of writers and photographers has thoroughly explored this land of lakes and forests, sea and snow, and combining an incisive exposition with the journalistic style typical of the entire series, presents us with the complete picture of the country, from its bustling ports to ice of the far north. The volume begins with a lively historical profile, followed by a series of authoritative essays on the life of the Finns and the Sami, their music and their culture. Furthermore, with the support of detailed maps, it reviews all the places that are worth visiting. Finally, an exhaustive appendix of practical information offers useful advice on organizing travel and excursions, choosing hotels, restaurants, shops and sporting activities. From Helsinki, the "daughter of the Baltic", to the reindeer of Lapland, it is all contained in these pages. The Apa Finland guide fascinates while he explains, entertains while he informs. It's the book you've all been waiting for.
