A winter wonderland - Estonia & Finland!

Christmas in Europe! What’s better? Christmas markets, and hot mulled wine! Finland’s short but sparkling sunny season sees the country burst into life. From the beautiful coastal islands to the ever-presents forests and lakes everywhere and anywhere in the country, the nature is always nearby and more accessible. Despite the ample snow that makes Finland fantastic for winter activities, the summer allows you to see what's there when it's all melted away. If we are lucky enough we will get a chance to chase the Northern Lights. Also, visit Tallinn, the capital and largest city of Estonia. Tallinn almost looks like it is stripped off a fairytale book. Colorful, gabled houses and medieval buildings lined the cobblestoned streets with guard towers along the enclosed city walls. Join WOW to celebrate Christmas in Estonia & Finland!

    The Eastern Europe trip was one of the best travel trips I have taken till now. Initially I was a bit apprehensive about travelling alone and being with so many new people but all those thoughts vanished on the first day itself! I have made such good friends and have made wonderful memories with them. Europe was a dream world with all its history and architecture. Budapest was the highlight of the trip for me and the perfect end to this journey.
    Thank you WOW for making me fall in love with traveling ❤️ Thank you Vithika for being so caring and thoughtful for all of us. You were an amazing travel buddy!
    Looking forward to many more awesome trips with Wow!

Enquiry

  • What is the best time to travel to Europe

    It depends!
  • Regarding the hotels, what does OR SIMILAR refer to?

    OR SIMILAR means that the hotel booked might be different from the hotel mentioned in the itinerary. 90% of the time we book the hotel that’s mentioned, but under few situations it might differ due to on-the-ground factors. So we pick an alternate hotel, but always in the same class and area of the city.
  • What size can my suitcase be?

    Generally, check in bag should have dimensions not exceeding 30″x 21″x11″ and weight not exceeding 22 kg. Carry-on luggage should not exceed the dimensions of 12″x11″ x6″ and weight not exceeding 7 kg. Though, because of differing terms of various airlines you must check your ticket copy and baggage allowance once your ticket is booked.
  • Can WOW book the flights for us?

    Definitely! We routinely book and manage flights for our Wanderers. We recommend that travelers get their flights booked through us as this comes in handy when there are issues to do with cancellations or re-routings.
  • Are there any vegetarian restaurants in Prague?

    Czech cuisine is not particularly kind to vegetarians being predominantly meat & potatoes. Vegetarians are however increasingly well served by a growing number of vegetarian and vegan restaurants.
