Best time to visit Finland

The most popular time to visit Finland is during summer (June – August). Temperatures around this time are comfortable, rarely rising above 20°C. Make sure you book accommodation well in advance to ensure you get the best options and be prepared for higher hotel rates and crowded attractions. The highlight of the summer is the Midnight Sun, a natural phenomenon which sees the sun shining for 24 hours (if the weather is fair)! For cheaper hotel rates and the thrilling opportunity for snow-related activities, visit Finland during winter (November – early-April). While it can get as cold as -10°C, this is the perfect time to go skiing, snowmobiling, ice diving, and building up a sweat in a rural sauna before finding some relief in the chilly waters of one of the many lakes. This season is additionally the best time to spot the aurora borealis (northern lights) in the beautiful Lapland region of Finland.

Finland has an exceptionally low crime rate. Pickpocketing is a problem, however, especially during the busy summer months.

With some cities like Turku including a significant student population, be careful when going out for a drink at night. It’s common for Finnish residents to maintain a standard of politeness, so antagonising a drunk customer is guaranteed to end in a fight.

The police in Finland enjoy a reputation for honesty and respect. If you do find yourself questioned by the police, simply remain calm. Should you be arrested, attempting to bribe an officer will only make your situation worse.

Before you leave for Finland, make sure to get all the routine vaccinations. Check with your doctor for more information. Other diseases you may need to guard against include hepatitis A, hepatitis B and rabies.
