Aland Old House by Pekka Luukkola

Overview:

There are frequent overnight ferry services operating between Finland's capital Helsinki and Aland's capital Mariehamn, and once in Mariehamn the whole island is very easy to explore as all sights, golf courses, fishing spots and beaches are within reach. Aland is well known for its beautiful archipelago and bedrock, worn smooth by the inland ice, with the typical red colour of the Aland granite.

Another typical feature is the midsummer pole decorated with colourful ornaments. Pole decorations traditionally vary from village to village, and every pole is unique. Aland's nature offers possibilities for swimming, cycling, paddling, long distance skating and more.  Summer is the season to be active and get most out of the island as during winter it calms down.

Package price is £995 per person based on availability and sharing a double / twin room.

Hi Inga,

 

Thank you so much for your email and thanks for putting together such a well planned and organised trip. 

 

Denmark was beautiful and we were extremely lucky with the weather. The holiday gave us a really good taster of so many areas that we know we want to go back and explore further.

 

All the hotels were excellent, the food was really good and everyone was welcoming and friendly.

 

We will definitely be going back and we will no doubt also explore some more of Scandinavia.

 

Thanks

 

Lydia 

Car Rental

You can rent a car, as long as you have a valid EU or international driver's license. Most cars will have manual transmission.

Transportation

Railway mostly serves domestic routes and is used as an easy and quick way to get from the capital to major cities of the country. There are some international routes, like to Moscow and St. Petersburg, but time spent on the way will be quite long.

Buses are one of the most convenient ways to travel between the Baltic States. Eurolines will get you between Riga, Vilnius and Tallinn. One way tickets will cost £ 15 - £ 20 and approximate travel time is 5 hours between the cities. Ticket reservations in advance are recommended.

Taxis are the quickest and most convenient way of travelling round the city. You'll find them located close to the main hotels. Usually it's quite easy to catch a taxi on the street, however, it's much better and safer to order one by phone. Taxi costs in all of the Baltic countries and Poland are approximately the same and a ride in the centre of the city will cost you approx £ 5 - £ 7.  Taxis in Finland and Russia are considerably more expensive.  It is always a good idea to get your hotel to book a taxi for you and ask approximately how much the trip will cost before you get in.

We would not recommend you to take public transportation within the city, as it's usually crowded and it may cause you unnecessary anxiety about where to stop.
