All of the five biggest cities in Finland are located in the South. Although the country lacks a notable metropolis, the capital Helsinki is a growing city with a somewhat urban atmosphere.

Espoo and Vantaa are located right next to Helsinki. However, they are often considered little more than its suburbs, and in recent years there has been talk of unification.

Turku was the capital before 1812.

Get around

Between cities and major towns you can use the trains (http://www.vr.fi) or buses (http://www.matkahuolto.fi). Hitchhiking is uncommon but possible, but be aware that some roads have very little traffic. If you chose smaller countryroads, cycling is a possibility and you can camp wild as long as you regard the "jokamiehenoikeus" (everymans right) which states basically "behave".
