EuroVelo 10 Baltic Sea Cycle Route

Finland

The Finnish part of EuroVelo 10 stretches 1,600 km along the Baltic Sea coast, starting in the northernmost part of the Bothnian Bay. Following the coastline of the Bothnian Bay, you eventually reach the Vaasa region, where the Swedish coast is only 80 km away. The coastal towns of Oulu, Vaasa, Pori, and Rauma provide an opportunity for you to replenish your supplies along the way. Heading to Southern Finland, you have the option to visit the Åland Islands—an autonomous region of Finland with ferry connections—before arriving in Turku, the country’s former capital, known for its rich heritage and the world's most beautiful archipelago. The route continues through Helsinki and follows the historic Kings Road toward the Russian border.

It is currently not possible to cross the border between Finland and Russia, and there are restrictions in place at the Narva border crossing between Estonia and Russia. Cyclists travelling on EuroVelo 10 – Baltic Sea Cycle Route are strongly advised to skip the Russian section of the route and take the ferry between Helsinki and Tallinn to continue their trip.
