The greater Helsinki area is a wonderful place to explore forests, lakes and rivers, wildlife and the Finnish way of life. Day trips are fine in a Skoda Octavia, but what about trips further afield?

A group of friends travelling together or a large family on a camping trip using Helsinki as their starting point will probably be more comfortable hiring a Compact range van from Avis Helsinki Airport. 7-seaters like the Mazda 5 are great for camping trips into the Lakeland region or the forests.

Finland's second oldest town, Porvoo, is a mere 50 km distance from the capital. Located to the east of Helsinki, Porvoo makes for an ideal day trip, no matter which car one chooses from Avis.

Strolling through the cobbled streets to explore the many chic boutiques the Old Town has to offer or sampling local cuisine in one of the many charming restaurants is a wonderful way to unwind and take in the sights. For art lovers there is the Art Factory by the river bank, located within a short walk from the Market Square and the historic town center.

Southern Finland has many riches to offer. Helsinki's neighbouring municipalities Vantaa, Espoo, Kauniainen and Lahti all have their story to tell. Although much can be visited by train and bus, the freedom of having a car at one's disposal cannot be underestimated, as it offers so much flexibility.
