Driving Tips for Finland
Driving in Finland is an unforgettable experience, especially for those exploring its scenic roads and tranquil countryside. Here are a few tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey:
- Drive on the right side of the road: As in most European countries, vehicles in Finland drive on the right.
- Winter tyres are mandatory in winter: Between November and March, cars must be equipped with winter tyres due to icy conditions.
- Observe speed limits: The limit is 120 km/h on motorways, 80-100 km/h on main roads, and 50 km/h in urban areas.
- Be cautious of wildlife crossings: Moose and reindeer are common, particularly in Lapland. Drive attentively, especially during dusk and dawn.
- Parking in cities: Urban areas like Helsinki have organised parking zones, with options for paid street parking and multi-storey car parks.
- Use headlights year-round: Finnish law requires dipped headlights to be on at all times, day or night.
- Prepare for icy roads in winter: Even with winter tyres, be mindful of slippery surfaces and adjust your speed accordingly.
