Best Time to Visit Finland

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.

  • Do pack the small first-aid box with you, so that if you get injured while playing or your skin gets dry in cold air, it will help you.
