A complete Travel Guide on Finland answering why, when, where and what things to do in Finland, the land of thousand lakes and midnight sun.
Immigration officer: So you are going to Norway?
Me: No Sir, Finland.
Immigration officer: Same thing, na!
Me: No Sir, Finland is different from Norway.
Immigration Officer: Haven’t seen many Indians going to Finland. What’s so special?
Me: There’s a lot to see in Finland like Northern Lights, Santa’s Home, 188,000 lakes and Reindeer Safari among others.
The above conversation affirms how little we know about Finland, the Nordic wonderland sandwiched between Sweden and Russia. But we are in for a change as Finland celebrated its centenary of independence in 2017 with yearlong celebrations. There can’t be a better time than NOW to visit. Before you take off, let me take you on a virtual Arctic Safari of the Arctic nation, whose resident is the most famous resident of the world – Santa Claus.
Here’s a complete Travel Guide on Finland answering why, when, where and what things to do in Finland :
WHY VISIT FINLAND
1) Offbeat yet well organized
Finland is often overlooked for its Scandinavian neighbours, and that’s what makes it an ideal destination for discerning travellers. Queues, jams, and crowds are alien words here. The unspoiled vast expanses of the wilderness like no other. Finland might be wild but it is well geared up from all-included-safari style packages to compass-and-map DIY adventures.
2) Natural Wonderland
When I first looked down from my Finnair plane, I saw an endless carpet of forests snuggled under a white blanket, speckled by picture-perfect lakes as if an artist flicked a blue dipped paintbrush on a white canvas. Finnish dreamscapes are a treasure trove for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts like me. You name it and Finland has it – from having some of Europe’s best hiking trails to adrenaline-pumping activities like cross-country skiing to kayaking to glacier walking to Aurora Borealis hunting to Bear-watching.
3) Four distinct seasons
Nature in Finland seems to be a fashion aficionado. Four times a year it changes its wardrobe completely– colour, light, temperature, sounds, and smells. Everything changes mystically in a way that happens nowhere else.
4) Family Friendly
Staying at Holiday Club Resorts Finland, I noticed how conscious Finns are about family well-being – from having separate kids beds to special kids cutlery to Angry Birds Park to personal saunas. Kids are the VIPs in Finland.
5) Finnatastic Education
There is no better place than Finland to expose your kids to the world’s best education system, which draws educationalists from around the world to learn its secrets. There are no private schools in Finland. Even the Prime minister’s children in Finland need to enrol in a public school.
6) Affordability
One of the reasons why Finland is still not hot on Indian tourists radar is because of being perceived as expensive. But thanks to Club Mahindra, even that barrier has vanished. Enjoy the 100% pure Finnish escapades at INR rates. (Details at the end of the article)
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT FINLAND
The country is an ideal destination for all seasons as it has four distinct seasons that transform the white snowscapes to vibrant colourscapes in just a few months. Temperatures vary considerably from -30°C in winter to +30°C in summer. The best time to visit Finland depends on what you’d like to experience:
- For plenty of snow and winter activities, December to March is the best time.
The Finland you encounter will depend on the season you visit, but whatever the season, the fresh and pure air will detoxify and rejuvenate you. Like a doting dad, Finland will spoil you with choices. You’ll have countless reasons that will make every season the best time to visit Finland
Here’s an infographic on the seasonal activities you can enjoy in Finland:
WHERE AND WHAT TO EXPLORE
I am guilty of arriving in Finland without going through its highly impressive resume. No wonder, I was left awestruck with its versatility and contrasts. The design capital meets remote Lapland. Nordic style gurus rub shoulders with Reindeer herding Sami. Midnight sun plays musical chair with a perpetual night. Rock festivals compete with majestic Aurora Borealis. Finland’s menu is anything but bland. However, one trip is not enough to taste the entire multi-course meal. You’ll keep craving for more.
Finland is best relished through slow travel but stopover holiday is second to none. Just choose your region and enjoy your unforgettable Finnish experience. With a “tip to toe” length of over 1000 kilometers, Finland is divided into four main regions:
1. LAPLAND
When I was a kid, my parents gifted me a snow globe from which snowflakes would fall whenever shaken. I would go off to sleep dreaming to wake up in the snow globe. After decades of waiting, Lapland finally happened.
The Narnia like the mysterious region is the country’s northernmost province, home of the one and only Santa Claus, midnight sun in the summer and almost guaranteed Northern Lights every night of the winter.
I was fortunate to experience the remote wilderness of high fells, hoarfrost-clad forests, arctic adventures of cross-country skiing, a reindeer safari, husky safari, snowmobile ride, snow shooing and heart-to-heart conversations with the Sámi, western Europe’s only indigenous people who inhabit the Arctic. There is no shortage of things to do in Finland in winters.
Top 5 things to do in Lapland:
- Experience the wilderness of extremes from twilight to the nightless night
- Doze off under the Northern lights in a glass Igloo
- Go on no ordinary winter’s ride with Huskie or Reindeer
- Have you ever written a letter to Santa? Now be his guest and tell him in person
- Throw yourself into the local life amid the power of nature and get to know the Sami culture
2. LAKELAND
Lakeland is the largest lake district in Europe. The blue labyrinth of lakes, islands, rivers, and canals is so important in Finland’s culture that it became a part of the identity of the Finnish flag. With over 188,000 lakes it is no secret why Finland is called the land of thousand lakes.
Lakeland has more lakes than land, therefore, it’s a crime not to get out. Per Mikko, my local friend,
Seasons are for couch potatoes. Finns love to stay outdoors in every season – paddle up with their families in summers and go ice-skating or ice fishing in winters. Every Finn has a countryside Lake cottage where their weekends and holidays are spend.
I visited Lakeland when it was a solid mass of ice on which I jumped, skated and did ice fishing. Even -10°C didn’t feel cold. I was just happy walking on the Saimaa Lake, one of the largest lakes in Europe.
Top 5 things to do in Lakeland:
- Rent a cottage in Finland’s most idyllic and scenic location
- Spot the endangered freshwater seal
- Photograph Brown Bears in their natural setting – at night
- Forage for berries and mushrooms
- Visit the Savonlinna Opera Festival
3. COAST & ARCHIPELAGO
Finnish coastline is long and the archipelago off it one of the world’s largest. The Finns love to be close to water almost as much as they love trudging deep into boggy forests picking berries and mushrooms.
Like Lakeland, this region too boasts of wooden summer cottages – decked with saunas – gazing out across the Baltic. The area is best explored by bike, foot or sailing boat/kayak. Island hopping with camping is a great way to experience the area, as is staying in small seaside B&B’s and hostels in old wooden towns like Rauma or Hanko. Unfortunately, this was one area that I couldn’t explore. There’s always the next time.
Top 5 things to do in Coast and Archipelago:
- Go island hopping by bicycle in the world’s most beautiful archipelago from Turku to the Aland islands
- Go sea kayaking among 20,000 islands and skerries
- Spend a night on a lighthouse island (Uto Bentskar)
- Catch the biggest pike and perch in Archipelago
- Dive and discover underwater trails in the Archipelago National Park
4. HELSINKI
Helsinki might be the younger sibling to the Scandinavian capitals, but it’s the one that went to art school, enjoys Rock music and works in a cutting-edge studio. The vibrant city of Helsinki is where more than 450 years of history and tradition blend seamlessly with contemporary design and trends. There are a lot of things to do in Helsinki.
Just as architecture makes Manhattan, people make Helsinki. Not only the climate but even Finns are cool – although a bit quiet and reserved. If you dig deeper you’ll see they are warm, friendly, hospitable and especially honest people.
Helsinki is best discovered by strolling through the thoroughfares or riding a tram. This pocket-sized city hooked me with its unhurried attitude, gourmet food delights, renowned museums, East-meets-west-design cathedrals, flourishing design, and cultural scenes and self-deprecating sense of humour.
The cozy and compact city is buzzing with life and there’s always something going on in Helsinki every day of the year.
Top 5 things to do in Helsinki:
- Visit the iconic Helsinki Cathedral, Orthodox Church and the Temppeliaukio Church
- Walk in Kallio, a neighbourhood full of cool bars, cafes, and boutiques
- Shop for local delicacies from the food halls and markets followed by rejuvenation at the neighbourhood Saunas in the city
- Take a day trip to Porvoo, Finland’s second oldest city
- Go for a picnic in one of the Archipelago islands
The best way to experience the untouched wilderness and culture of Finland is to become a part of it. Hope this Complete Travel Guide on things to do Finland inspires you to travel to Finland!

Hope you get to travel soon to Finland. Awaiting your trip stories 🙂
Cheers!
The convo with the immigration officer 😂😂😂
Thanks for the post!
True story. The conversation was actually very long. I just wrote a very part of it.
Guess it is the unawareness about the destination that we need to change 🙂
What a thorough and useful article! Great job! I love the images too, there are a lot on there that I didn’t expect so you’ve really changed my perception!
Hey Elise,
I am so glad my article could change your perception. A reader’s heartfelt appreciation is what keeps the writer going.
Thanks a ton for liking it.
And you must visit Finland. You’ll instantly fall in love with it 🙂
Cheers!
Archana
Oh. My. Goodness! This post and the amazing photos make me want to move there! Well if it wasn’t for the snow lol….Finland is definitely on my travel/bucket list (in the spring/summer). I bookmarked this post so I could refer to it when I do finally go – such an excellent resource! Oulanka National Park is a must see!
Thanks a lot Rana for making an effort to read and share your feedback on my article. Finland is definitely worth visiting. Still one of the places where wilderness is still alive.
If you need any help in planning your trip, please feel free to contact 🙂
Wow .. I’ve never been to Finland. Although after reading your post .. I’m thinking my husband and I might have to change all of that. It seems magical. Thanks for sharing it with your readers!
HA HA. That’s such a nice compliment. I am so glad my article made you think in a positive way about Finland.
Wow! This post is so detailed. Finland was never in my consideration. Now this makes me want to visit Finland. Specifically Lapland. I would love to know more about your experience with the Sami people.
Keep inspiring. Keep traveling.
Thanks a lot Harshit for the kind words.
This is one awesome post. Detailed and very precise. I am flipping and bookmarking this for sure. Finland is such a dreamland I want to go especially to Lapland 🙂 and meet Santa
Hi there,
Finland is really better than dream destination. There’s so much to explore and that too in any season.
Would love to hear your experience.
Cheers!
Haha I love your introduction with the immigrant officer 😀
And I love your post and photos as well – it is just one big beautiful love hymn to Finland. So many detailed tips and information that you give here and it shows excellently the diversity and pure beauty of this amazing country. I still missed Lapland and the Northern lights, need to see this with my own eyes, at least also thankfully because of your inspiration!
Hey Hendrik,
I am so glad you liked my post. Finland is truly magical and worth visiting for at least once in a lifetime.
Hope you get to see it soon 🙂
This is great. Really. I wanna follow you. I’ve been to Swedesh Lapland, we are writing about that now, but this post is so full of details. Great!
Hey Igor,
Thanks a lot for your lovely words. I am so glad you liked what I wrote.
I too have to write on Lapland. I would love to read your experience. Can you please share the link here?
I visited Tromso/Norway last year in February and I did exactly the same things. Aurora Borealis was great, unfortunately the dog sledging I had to do it by night (so no photos), but the Sami culture I loved it. I didn’t even know that this ethnic group still exists.
Ohh that’s nice to know. Nordic countries are pretty similar but still there are so many differences. Every country is worth visiting, provided we can afford it :p
Lapland was my favourite and yours?
Cheers!
This place is just heaven for every landscape photographers! Thank you for this guide especially about when and where to find Aurora Borealis! I
I would totally agree with you for Finland being a heaven for landscape Photographers.
Also, I am glad you found the article useful. Hope you can use the information provided when you visit Finland.
Cheers!
Would love to go!
Hope you get to travel soon to Finland.
Al the best!
Cheers!
Finland has been on my bucket-list for some time and as you mentioned, it kind of was the perception of how expensive the country was that put me off. And, as a Brit, I don’t get to take advantage of the Club Mahindra offer you mentioned which is a shame considering all the various forms of beauty Finland displays throughout the year. Better start saving those pennies I think!
Hey Gareth,
Thanks for sharing your feedback. It’s really sad you can’t take advantage of the Club Mahindra offer but there’s no harm in checking with them. They have properties across India and Europe. Maybe they have some deal for you. Also, you’ll get benefit of currency exchange 🙂
Beautiful pictures! I haven’t visited Finland yet but I would love to! I would love to experience it in the winter but I am a bit of scared of the cold. haha.
Hey Marlies,
Thanks for reading the blog and sharing your comment.
Trust me it doesn’t feel so cold once you are there because you are always doing some or the other activity.
Go Visit Finland. You’ll love it just like I did 🙂
Cheers!
I really loved my short visit to Helsinki during one of my long layovers in Vantaa Airport. I had a great time walking around and I visited that white cathedral too. I wish I can visit and see the rest of Finland soon too.
Isn’t white cathedral gorgeous? I loved it’s minimalistic architecture.
Hope you get to see the rest of the Finland. It’s a very beautiful country. I am 100% sure you’ll fall in love it it 🙂
Cheers!
You know, I also come from a country that many people refer to as Russia, and we are not! So whenever I hear someone referring to any other country as to smth else, I get very emotional about it.
Thank you for bringing this up. Finland is sooooo amazing and beautiful!
Hey Veronica,
First of all many thanks for stopping by and sharing your comment. And yes, Finland is a very beautiful country, which is so unique and people must know about it. BTW Which is your favourite part in Finland?
And where are you from? I would love to know more about your country.
Cheers!
Archana
My goodness there really is soooo much to see in Finland. So many different landscapes it seems to be a magical country. Especially Lapland in the winter. That is what struck my interest the most. I think I am ready to book my trip to visit Santa and his reindeer, but maybe I will wait for when I have kids. I always had the perception that Finland was expensive like Norway, but it is a relief to hear that it is not. The only thing I fear now is the cold. Time to start building a thick skin! Thank you for a very thorough post about everything Finland has to offer.
Hey Christina,
Thanks for sharing your generous comment here. I am so glad you are looking forward to visit Finland. It’s a very beautiful country and you must visit it. You’ll completely fall in love with it.
And don’t worry about the cold. It doesn’t feel so cold when you are there. There’s always some or the other adventure activity to keep you warm and don’t forget the Finnish Sauna 🙂
Hope you get to travel to Finland soon!
Cheers
I’ve never been to Finland but it looks and sounds fab! Great post!
Hey Kathleen,
Thanks a lot for your lovely comment. Really appreciate it 🙂
Cheers!
Oh my GOD! The pictures are so beautiful. I’ve always wanted to go to Finland. 🙂
Hey Sonal,
Finland is amazing! You have to visit it to know what i am talking about.
Hope you get to travel soon 🙂
Cheers!
Archana
Your post is so detailed, it can be almost my guide to visiting finland. I love the place, have heard so much about it that I have been pushing it up my bucket list. The norther lights, the beautiful snow covered landscape, the family friendly places are all so inviting.
Hey Neha,
Thanks a lot for such a heartfelt feedback. I am glad you liked it.
Finland is a totally family adventure land. You must visit it irrespective of whether you are married or not 🙂
Cheers!
After reading this post, I just want to hop on a plane heading to Finland now, and take few month off there just to explore and simply enjoy the Spring and Fall season. I do not mind to visit there in winter also, and view the beautiful Aurora Borealis and do the ice fishing. How amazing it is the beautiful Saimaa Lake actually makes you forget about the cold.
HA HA. That’s the best compliment a writer could ever get. Thanks a lot for the love. And yes, Finland is beautiful in all seasons.
I love your extensive guide on Finland. i had a childrens book on the Sami and since then its been a dream to visit Lapland. Your post only inspires me more to visit this country.
Hey Ellis,
That’s so nice to know you still remember Sami from your children’s book.
Hope you get to travel there soon.
Cheers!
I always wanted to go to Finland, it looks like a Christmas fairytale. I did read about the hotel made of ice, which should also be a great experience.
Hey Veronika,
Finland is really very beautiful in every season. Yes, you are right they do have an ice hotel. Also, have you heard about igloo?
Hope you get to travel soon to Finland 🙂
Cheers!
I was there just last week. Such a beautiful country. Also, your photos are excellent!
Oh wow! How was your experience? Did you enjoy?
Thanks for sharing your feedback.
Cheers!
Absolutely great post on your trip to Lapland! Stunning photo’s! Well done!
Hi Woody,
I am glad you liked the post.
Have you been to Finland?
Cheers!
Archana
Finland looks stunning. I still have very little information about this country, but after reading your post, I’m very intrigued. Would love to explore more.
Hey Punita,
I was in the same boat as you were. But I was really amazed by the beauty and adventure of Finland. It’s one of the most underrated country in Europe. And thanks to Club Mahindra, it isn’t going to be expensive too.
So do give it a try next time you plan your European holidays 🙂
Cheers!
It sounds like a wonderful country to visit and very family friendly which is important if you have kids! A really informative article, thanks for sharing
Hi Nicky,
Thanks a lot for your lovely feedback. And you are right, Finland is a wonderful country to visit.
Everyone should visit it.
Have you been there?
Cheers!
Why wouldn’t Finland be on every traveler’s wishlist! It looks like one dreamy country – simply surreal! Would love to visit asap!
Hi Harsh,
You are right, Finland is the closest you can get to a dreamland. Very beautiful. Very unique.
Hope you get to travel soon to Finland.
Cheers!
Archana
I visited Helsinki in Setember last year. Its a great city though it was starting to get a little cold. I would love to visit the rest of the country though and do some hiking, though maybe a little trip in winter would be great too.
Hi Clare,
Hiking season usually starts in Summer. It’s beautiful to trek in this country where 70% of the land is forested and where anyone can collect berries 🙂
Hope you get to travel soon to Finland.
Cheers!
This trip looks awesome!! Getting to be there on the 100th birthday?! Such a special treat! That Angry Birds room looks so awesome!! I may not be a kid, but I would want to play too!
Thanks a lot Melanie for stopping by and sharing your feedback. Really appreciate it.
Angry bird can make anyone smile. I liked it too. Too difficult to ignore it 🙂
Such a beautiful country! I loved learning more about it through your thoughtful and informative post (and the pictures were gorgeous too).
Hey Mackinaw,
I am so glad you found my post useful. Really appreciate your effort to share your feedback.
Thanks,
What a great article, very detailed. I always wanted to visit Iceland and Sweden but had never considered Finland. The country looks beautiful and summer music festivals would be great!
Hey Nicole,
That’s a case with everyone. Iceland and Sweden are big brothers who capture all the limelight but that’s what makes Finland so special. It’s a gorgeous country worth exploring in every season.
Impressive, brief and well-summarized guide for Finland… This blog just gave me all the reasons to explore Finland… Thanks… I appreciate the effort for putting all of these..
Thanks a lot for your kind words. I am so glad you found my article useful 🙂
We visited Lapland and now we are inspired to visit Scandinavia again in the summer! All those events and festivals seen really tempting. The Northern Lights, tundra forest, lakes, and winter activities amazed us!
Check out our blog about dog sledding: https://tripblogpost.com/en/dog-sledding-beginners-musher-day/
http://www.tripblogpost.com
Isn’t lapland wonderful? I read your blog about dog sledder. It was quite interesting.
Like you I too wish to return to Scandinavia in summers. Must be so good. I would love to read about your summer experience as well. looking forward to that.
I love this post! Finland sounds so exciting! I would love to see the aurora and try being a musher for one day, it would be amazing! The landscape is breathtaking!!
Hey Isadora,
You have such a unique name.
Finland is really very pretty and there’s so much to explore. You must visit it.
I have been following your trip on Instagram and am completely enthralled by Lapland. I too, wanna meet Santa :P. I was hoping to catch northern lights through you but well, maybe your next trip – or maybe, mine :). Lovely post.
Hey Ami,
Thanks a lot for your lovely words. I am glad you followed my trip. Hope both of us get to travel to Finland soon to see the elusive lights.
Cheers!
This is a really fantastic and comprehensive article on Finland! I admittedly have never thought of visiting Finland either, but it looks so incredibly beautiful. Great pictures and great tips for travel, if I ever decide to go I will definitely reference this!
Hey Krista,
Thanks a lot for your kind words. I am glad you found this post useful. Hope you get to travel soon to Finland. You’ll love it.

Talk about a wealth of information! It seems you’ve collected everything a new traveller to Finland needs to know, it one, easy-to-read guide – thank you! I didn’t know very much about Finland to begin with, but now I’m wondering how quickly I can plan a trip there!
Hey Karyna,
I am so glad you liked my effort. Your comment really made me smile ear-to-ear. Thanks a lot.
I am looking forward to your trip to Finland.
I was very excited to read this post! I am going to Helsinki in June and I didn’t know it was Finland’s 100th birthday. I will be sure to enjoy some street food and take in a sauna.
Hey Stella,
Thanks a lot for your kind words. I am glad you found this post useful. Hope your travel went well in Finland. Can’t wait to see your pics.

What a comprehensive guide on Finland! It’s on my bucket list and hopes to visit there soon. Have bookmarked your post for my reference. Your pictures are breathtaking!
Hey Ana,
Thanks a lot for your kind words. I am glad you found this post useful. Hope you get to travel soon.

I visited Finland last year, it must have been 99! I have never seen the Northern lights after 3 attempts, I am tempted to be 4th time lucky in Finland! I love the action shot on Salmaa Lake!
OMG! Three times and still not seen them. I should let go then. Finland is worth visiting whether you see or don’t see the Northern Lights.
I absolutely love this post, thank you so much for sharing your fantastic experience of Finland. It’s on my list of countries I plan to visit and you’ve given me all the information I need to plan a great trip there. Well done 🙂

I understand your dilemma. But it’s a happy dilemma to have. Thanks a lot for your feedback 😍
It looks like an absolutely lovely country. I don’t generally share travel stuff, but I did share this to my Facebook page. Perhaps some of my more globetrotting friends will consider going and take back pictures. 🙂
Hey Marie,
I am humbled with your gesture. Thanks a lot. I am so glad you liked what I wrote.
Hope you get to read more of my blogs.
Best!
Archana
