Clues to look for
Finnish words are long and full of double letters (aa, kk, ää). Endless pine and birch forest, lakes, red wooden houses and yellow centre lines on many roads. Some signs repeat the name in Swedish.
Driving side
Cars in Finland drive on the right. So do Iceland, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Faroe Islands, which are also in Northern Europe. Most of the world drives on the right, so this alone won't narrow it down much: check the signs next.
Countries it's easy to confuse with Finland
