The most popular destinations in Finland
Depending on the season, a destination can be more or less popular. There is nothing better than taking a city trip in the summer to beautiful cities such as Helsinki , Turku , Tampere , Oulu , or Vaasa . These cities offer a mix of culture, history and modernity, making them attractive to visitors all year round.
Natural destinations such as Finnish lakes or nature parks are beautiful in all seasons, although you should take into account not only the weather conditions, but also breeding seasons or the habits of the animals living in a region.
In the far north, snow and winter are often the main reasons to visit the Lapland region, although this is not the ultimate reason for everyone.

Finland for us personally
Our own experiences.
Besides being Finland Specialists, we are also travelers, adventurers and people ourselves.
Enjoying a trip... we know all about that.
First-line expertise: We guide from our own experience.
Finland reveals its true character to those who take the time. Our favourite route takes us by ferry from Stockholm to Turku — a crossing that immediately replaces the hustle and bustle of everyday life with the serene tranquility of the Baltic Sea. It is the beginning of a journey through a country with unprecedented architectural charm and a flawless road network that invites exploration.
We have traversed Finland in all seasons: from the elegant streets of Helsinki to the arctic silence of Nellim and Inari. However, our expertise takes you further than the well-known map; we guide you to the nameless, unspoiled locations near the Norwegian and Russian borders where nature is still completely autonomous. Finland offers a distinctive luxury that we translate for you into a travel design without compromise.
We guide you through the most pristine places in this special country. Our Finland expertise is profound and based on many years of our own expeditions. Let yourself be inspired by our passion for the High North and trust in a travel design that is perfect down to the smallest detail.

Spotting bears, deep in the forest
Perhaps one of the most special excursions we offer is bear spotting in Finland. Along the Russian border, in the most remote and quiet forest areas of Finland, you will stay safely and comfortably and experience how the brown bear magically walks through the forest. Despite its enormous weight and its very large paws, it does so silently. You don't know what you see and this experience will become a lasting memory. As a travel agency specializing in holidays in Finland, we think this is really one of our top activities. Pure Finnish, pure nature.

Why choose Holmstock Travel
We travel a lot through Finland ourselves, as a travel agency and also privately.
It is our vision that we can provide you with excellent advice and help you put together your holiday to Finland, for example, because we are immersed in the country, the subject and the experience ourselves. Not just working from an office in the Netherlands, but hands-on on site. With knowledge of the country and often with insider knowledge of various unique places. We are not so-called travel designers who have to work with only online contacts and theoretical knowledge. We have been there ourselves, as you can see from our own photography that is online here and that was often taken with 'only' a mobile phone. We often know the sounds on site when you wake up, the local places where you can enjoy yourself or where you can get local delicacies. When it comes to small group trips, we are your driver and guide ourselves. We call our trips 'artisanal' because, just like your butcher or preferred baker, we still make them ourselves. We put a lot of time and passion into it, with the aim of offering you a very nice holiday.
Not masses of sample trips online, but a good tailor-made proposal.
Let our site be an introduction and not a travel shop with large shelves. Through this introduction we invite you to come into conversation. We adjust every trip exactly as it should be. Whether you want to travel to Lapland, Rovaniemi or Helsinki. Very luxurious or just off grid basic. Almost everything is possible. Let's talk!
Signed with a smile and kind regards,
Holmstock Travel
