Money Matters
|
| The currency in Finland is the euro, formerly the markka. Check current exchange rates before traveling. Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards, and travelers checks are widely accepted throughout the country, however cash is always easier outside the large cities, so plan accordingly.
Currency exchange agents are located in the major cities and tourist areas (American Express, Thomas Cook). ATM machines are located at all major banks, but may be limited to bank hours and possibly closed on weekends.
As always, be careful not to carry too much cash and keep your money in a safe place at all times.
Before you go, it's a good idea to write down the customer service phone numbers and actual card numbers of your credit cards, passport, other ID, and bank cards- in the case of theft this will come in handy.

Electricity
|
| Electricity in Finland is 220 volts, 50 cycle AC, as compared to 110 volts, 60 cycle AC in the U.S. When taking along electrical appliances, a converter and a plug adapter are needed to operate them.

Packing Tips
|
| Comfortable and warm in the summer from May to September and cold and snowy in the winter, packing for Finland will vary depending on when you plan to visit. Light cottons and linens in the summer and warm layers in the winter are best. Gear for outdoor activities such as skiing, skating and other winter activities are a must.
