Finalist, MyFinlandPoster contest 2025! The artist presents her poster: My poster depicts a scene in Lapland, where someone is skiing in the moonlight and northern lights are glowing in the sky. The simple scene and harmonious color palette brings peace and relaxation to the viewer. With the bold typography I wanted to bring a hint […]
Finalist in the travel poster contest My Finland Poster 2025 The artist presents her artwork: In the poster I created, there is a winter landscape with a ski trail and snow-covered trees. The northern lights shine in the sky above the ski trail. Surely travel posters can’t simply remain a cry from the past? Absolutely […]
In the words of the artist: This illustration was born out of my love for ice skating and is a tribute to nordic outdoors culture. There is something magical about being out on a frozen lake on a sunny winter day. I have spent much time in Dalarna and Hälsingland and love the mountainous landscape […]
FINALIST in the My Norden Poster poster contest 2022! In the words of the artist: I wanted the poster to represent things and values that unite the Nordic countries. I chose not to highlight individual sights, because what the Nordic region can offer its visitors, still today, is a unique nature that is always close […]
Most of the regions, cities and travel companies in Finland created posters and images of their own, just like the city of Kuopio in the region of Savo has done here. The idea was naturally to lure travels from near and afar to Finland. We continuously seek more information about all images in our product […]
This poster is one of the creations of Raimo Raimela and Osmo K. Oksasen. It was made for the Finnish State Railways in 1958, when these two advertising artists shared a studio in Helsinki.

Forget about the summer, it’s still the winter which is Finland’s trump card. Apart from ski competitions in for example Lahtis and Kuopio it was mainly the State Railways that promoted the Finnish winter, with new travel posters every season. The tourists were to make no mistake: if they were going to Lapland they were […]
And now a nostalgic tear runs down a Finnish cheek. We’re talking of that link to the town, that symbol of national unity, those bright yellow, rather slow, but always reliable and delightfully sociable…post buses. Everything started in Lapland, where the problems of delivering mail were greatest. The Rovaniemi-Sodankylä line started up in 1921, although […]

Inspired by the traditional clothing of the inuits the anorak (parka) also reached Finland. That’s when the skiing boy on the poster put it on – and soon the anorak became a favorite also for longtime Finnish president Urho Kekkonen. And now the anorak-boy can style up your home!
For all we know this must be the first poster marketing the Finnish winter and Lapland after the war. During the 1930´s the local and national Tourist Associations worked hard to promote Rovaniemi and Finnish Lapland as an exotic destination for the adventureous traveller. Small hotels were built, among others the proud ”Fell-hotel” at Pallas. […]
Sigh… What if one could fly back in time, put on those skies with a bunch of friends and catch the sun on Pyhätunturi – belonging to the southernmost fell range in Finland. But you can! The fells are still there, the sun is still there, so just do it! The national park of Pyhätunturi […]
What was new to the poster art of the 1950’s was the happy mood – a clear counter reaction to the war and the years of hardship during the end of the 1940’s … Finally they even took their kids with them! We love this poster since this is among the very first Finnish travel […]
In this poster the glorious (international) travelers are just arriving to the hotel at Pallastunturi. Strangely enough the poster doesn’t reveal that they still have an hour or so in the bus before they reach the hotel. Well, what the heck, that’s only a detail… What was new to the poster art of the 1950’s […]
