Finland’s high season to travel essentially boils down to what you want. If you’ve ever dreamed of getting lost in a fairy tale, winter, or specifically between December and March, is a fantasy on the planet. What I mean by that is gentle snow under your boots, the Northern Lights gently twirling above, and so quiet that you’ll catch yourself remembering a residue of a world outside. It’s cold, all right—but the kind of cold that beckons you inside, where you sit and spend a night huddled in a blanket, drinking something hot, as the snowflakes descend through the window.
And then the summer, June to August, when Finland becomes absolute stillness. The sun never actually sets, and the time just limps. Natives trek to lakeside cottages, forage in the wild for berries, and soak in saunas as if it were a religious ceremony—because it is. And when you arrive in late summer, September, you’ll discover forests burning with color, a peaceful beauty that is intimate and deep, as if the world is exhaling gently before winter comes back. Finland doesn’t blast or gaudy. It’s soft, soulful, and it lingers with you long after you’re gone.
A few of the reviews of Tourist after visiting Lapland are as:
Visiting Lapland and staying in a wooden hotel with a crackling fire inside and watching the Northern Lights. It is the perfect stay vacation anyone can imagine.
Just walk in a snowy forest, listen to the crunching sound of snow and see the beauty of nature. Along with taking a ride of Reindeer on soft snow and feeling the wind on your face, you giggle with joy.
Building a snowman with a carrot nose and a scarf over his neck, Making snowballs and throwing to each other, Just sipping a hot chocolate while sitting near the cabins and doing thrilling adventures will give you an immense experience to remember.
