Espoo is the second largest city in Finland and is a handy half hour’s drive from Helsinki and its international airport. When you book an Espoo holiday rental, you will find yourself very busy, with lots of walking, sports and nearly twenty museums to visit. The whole town is built on dozens of islands, as it is on the south coast of Finland, the whole of which is broken up like this. An Espoo holiday let will feel as if you are in a different country every day, with beautiful walks along the shore or around a lake. There is swimming all year round, although with the low winter temperatures, it is inside then.

Espoo has something totally unique and you may book an Espoo aparthotel holiday for this reason alone. It is the site of Santa’s Summer House and you can arrange to go and meet the man himself and even join him for a chat and a barbecue, all arranged by elves! This has to be pre-booked, but with childhood being all too short these days, why not treat the kids and/or indulge your inner child with a visit to this unique attraction while staying in an Espoo serviced apartment? It is something no-one will forget.

Nightlife in Espoo is very varied and there is even a disco dedicated to the over thirty fives. Let it all hang out and pack your white John Travolta suit in your luggage when you get ready for a stay in an Espoo city centre (center) apartment. Finnish food is delicious and reindeer is often on the menu, as is crayfish and other seafood. Eating out for snacks is easy, so you don’t have to do too much cooking when you are in your Espoo holiday apartment. Fast food outlets are easy to find, but if you don’t fancy burger or pizza, the open sandwich is popular here and Danish pastries are delicious, often with strawberries or raspberries in the middle, as Finland is a famous producer of both.

When not eating or dancing, you will easily find a museum to suit your interests when staying in an Espoo short stay apartment. The WeeGee Centre is a great place for all the family, with five different museums with hands on exhibitions, a restaurant and of course that all important museum shop. If the museum shop doesn’t have what you want, there are many shopping malls in Espoo, some specialising in one main product but most with something for everyone.

Serviced and self-catered apartments, flats, aparthotels and holiday lets can be up to 30% cheaper than most equivalent hotel rooms and are becoming increasingly popular due to the freedom they offer. Whether it’s a short stay apartment you are looking for or a long term apartment, our holiday apartments combine all the amenities and comforts of home.  With plenty of room why stay in a cramped hotel room when you can stay in spacious surroundings in and around Espoo city centre.
