18th edition: A foray through Finland (Route 30)

Looping through Finland from Sweden

Route introduction

Our journey commences in northern Sweden and ends in Stockholm, but actually the bulk of the rail travel on this wonderful journey is through Finland. There’s more than city streets on this fine trip: you’ll see lakes and forests aplenty and learn a thing or two about Finland’s history.
