Our Exact Finland Itinerary

Here is the day-by-day route we drove through Finland with six kids in tow — where we started, how far we went each day, and the stops that were worth pulling over for. We kept driving days short enough for everyone to stay happy, built in a slow morning after every big travel day, and left one flexible afternoon for whatever we discovered along the way. Use it exactly as written or shuffle the order to fit your dates. Every stop, drive time and timing tip is listed in the full itinerary.
