Located in the region of Southern Savonia, Savonlinna Airport (code: SVL) operates domestic flights and is only 15 kilometers away from Savonlinna city center. Surrounded by numerous lakes, it presents a beautiful start for your Finnish adventure. Car rental services are available inside the terminal building, providing an easy transition to your next destination.
Several car rental companies operate at Savonlinna Airport, ensuring you have plenty of options to choose from. From economy to luxury vehicles, manual to automatic transmissions, there's a car to suit your specific traveling needs.
Compact and economy cars are great for city driving, while SUVs are ideal for off-road and winter conditions. Just remember to obtain your International Driving Permit before your journey, as it's mandatory along with your UK driving license.
Laying eyes on Finland's breathtaking landscapes is best done by car. Here are a few handy tips to help make your driving experience smoother:
The common routes taken from the airport include roads 14 and 62 which head to central Savonlinna. Alternatively, road 471 takes you towards Kerimäki, home to the world's largest wooden church.
Savonlinna is known for its famous Opera Festival held annually in the medieval Olavinlinna Castle. The city's surrounding areas also offer many fascinating sites such as the Punkaharju Ridge area and Linnansaari National Park – a perfect destination for nature lovers.
Finland uses the Euro (€) as its official currency and English is commonly spoken. The climate can be quite cold in winter, so don't forget to pack appropriate clothing. Also, take into account that Finland is two hours ahead of the UK, so set your watches accordingly!
There are several petrol stations close to the airport and on the way to Savonlinna centre. In addition, most petrol stations also have car wash facilities and some even offer tire change services.
