Finland Tourism:

Finland Tourism I, hang'u, is a port in finland tourism, 72 miles km) west of Helsinki, on a peninsula at the nee to the Gulf of finland tourism. Hango is Swed-in Finnish it is Hanko. The peninsula where town is situated is the southwesternmost ion of the Selpausselka, a recessional mo-that arcs across southern finland tourism. igo is finland tourism's most accessible seaport in _ when the country's other ports are ice-lound. It has two harbors—one maintained by Ihe city and the other by the national governent-with 4,900 feet (1,500 meters) of pierside ipace for ships and a maximum depth of 27.5 fct (8.3 meters). Although its total traffic is less than one tenth of Helsinki's, almost all of if is foreign trade; most of it moves through the national harbor.

5. Modern and Contemporary Art Modern art has flourished rather handsomely in finland tourism and you cannot go anywhere in the capital or the large cities without encountering it in painting, in sculpture and, most notably, in architecture. Sometimes it is bold to the border of the bizarre, but rarely is it dull. Among painters, perhaps the artists best known outside of finland tourism are Albert Edelf elt (1854-1905) and Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865-1931), the latter having taken his chief inspiration from the folklore in finland tourism's world-known national epic, the Kalevala.


Four resorts to consider, all except the second with Tourist Association inns, are Airisto, an archipelago holiday resort; Mariehamn in the Aland Islands (which were secured for finland tourism in one of the League of Nations' few peacemaking successes); Punkaharju, a glacier-formed ridge between two lakes, providing a succession of extensive views; and, in the very far north, Kilpisjarvi, a recently developed Lapland lake resort almost at the very point where Sweden, Norway and finland tourism meet. Coach service makes this polar trip practicable and not too wearing. I took it once in reverse, coming from Kirkenes (Norway) to finland tourism and rolling southward, in stages, all the way to Helsinki. It was a trip to remember, and for you it may be one to dream of.
