Finland Family Vacations

Families don’t typically associate Europe with remote wilderness, but then again, most families haven’t taken a vacation to Finland. Helsinki will likely be the start and end point of a kid-friendly trip here, and it works well for families because of its walkable streets and accessible sightseeing. From there, it’s just a short flight north to some of the best national parks in the world. Easy hiking awaits, as does more thrilling whitewater rafting. To warm up, learn to make traditional Finnish pastries or sample the sauna culture. Kid-friendly lodging in Finland includes everything from urban luxury hotels with modern amenities to rustic cabins deep in the forest.
