Tapio: The Forest Guide
Forests cover most of Finland's landscape and hold special meaning in Finnish culture and heritage.
In Finnish mythology, Tapio is the wise and benevolent god of the forest who provides guidance to those who seek wisdom. Inspired by this tradition, our Tapio service connects you with the resources and information you need for your journey in Finland, just as a knowledgeable guide would help travelers find their way through Finland's vast forests.
As your main guide, Tapio welcomes you, understands your needs, and connects you with specialized helpers for different aspects of life in Finland.
