Finland offers some of the most unique and beautiful scenery you can explore in Europe with a car hire. The highway system is excellent, however many routes are indirect due to the many lakes in southern Finland. The further north you travel in Finland, the fewer roads you will find. Ferries arrive in the capital of Helsinki from Sweden, Germany and even England.
Finland is in the Eastern European Time Zone (EET) which is two hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+2); and three hours ahead of GMT during British Summer Time (GMT +3 from last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October).
Finnish and Swedish are the official languages. Finnish is a difficult language, related only to Hungarian and Estonian among European languages, but English is widely spoken in cities and major tourist areas, as you can verify by driving your car hire in Tampere or other destinations in Finland. Swedish is the first language for about six percent of Finland's population.
The electricity in Finland is 220 volts, 50Hz. Standard European two-pin plugs are in use.
