Disappointing 3 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
We have used Rough guides for many years for our holidays abroad and have always found them helpful and informative. However, having waited for the new edition for Finland to be published in June before holidaying, we were greatly disappointed. Finland is a small country, so there is no excuse for the brevity of coverage for many geographical areas - there was no mention of anything at all within a 30 mile radius of where we were staying, in the popular Lake district. National parks get a brief mention, but there are no directions as to how to find them (and they are fairly well concealed....).
No mention either of the fact that in Finland, public toilets are a rare animal, and if sighted are either expensive or composting (I'm as ecologically aware as the next person, but the latter that we encountered were fairly off-putting). Finally, a complete omission of the usual 'Wildlife' section, so that the animals,birds, butterflies and plants (which, let's face it, if you're not there for skiing or fishing, are pretty much what you're left with as walking companions) go unidentified. And they get more expensive with every edition, so may well look at Lonely Planet next time.

excellent overview of the country 28 July 2010
By R. Suntop - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I took this book on my trip to Finland and found it to be very helpful. The book was well organized and up to date. The descriptions were well written and there were decent maps of the towns. The selection of lodging, dining and attractions was diverse and good. I also found it to be really helpful for travelers on a budget.
A Glimpse at Our Finnish Heritage 21 April 2012
By Leann L. Frobom - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My husband is the grandson of Finnish immigrants, and his son Jon has been making contact via the Internet with some relatives in Finland. I bought this book for Jon's birthday, and I was not disappointed. Beautiful photos. Packed with information -- current and historical. A lovely glimpse at his ancestral homeland.
