[edit] Get around

Between cities and major towns you can use the trains or buses. Hitchhiking is uncommon but possible, but be aware that some roads have very little traffic. If you chose smaller countryroads, cycling is a possibility and you can camp wild as long as you regard the "jokamiehenoikeus" (everymans right) which states basically "behave".
