The Finnish Tourist Board (Matkailun edistämiskeskus, MEK) has created a fantastic collection of Web sites under one 'umbrella' site: http://www.visitfinland.com. Taken together these sites offer a truly comprehensive travel guide to Finland, whether for business or pleasure.

The main site is divided into 6 main categories: Home (Welcome to Finland), Finland Facts, Transportation, Accommodation, Things To Do, and Destinations.

Just click the appropriate heading at http://www.visitfinland.com: each sub-category at the site is broken down into even more levels when you get there!
