Money and costs


The currency of Finland is the Euro (EUR). Finland is one of the most expensive countries in Europe, even if not as expensive as its Scandinavian neighbors to the west. ATMs are plentiful and credit and debit card payments are widespread.

ACCOMMODATION

The cheapest hotels and hostels cost €50 per night for a double room, average hotels start at €100 per night, campsites charge from €10 to €20 per tent per night. At the opposite pole, Finnish Lapland's best ice hotels charge many hundreds of euros a night.

FOOD

Food is on par with accommodation. Wherever you are, you will have a hard time paying less than €25 – €30 for a full meal. Food in supermarkets is expensive.  

INTERNET

Fast and very functional even in the desolate extremes of Finnish Lapland. It is very likely that there are free connections all over the place including almost every public library in the country. Internet cafes are not common in a country where people always have Internet at home, at work and on their phones.
