Finland has it all – snowy winters, pleasantly warm summers and colorful spring and autumn. Lapland is the most snow guaranteed place in the Europe. Not only the climate but also Finns are considered to be cool – a bit quiet and reserved. But they are actually warm, friendly and hospitable.
Although socially and economically it is in the vanguard of nations, parts of the country remain gloriously remote; with the trendsetting modern capital of Helsinki counterbalanced by vast forested wildernesses in the north and east, like Lemmenjoki National Park and Oulanka National Park.
Then, there are the endless days of summer and the endless nights of winter. Winter, too, has a special charm here. Catch the aurora borealis after your wood-fired sauna and you'll feel blessed by the universe.
Best time to visit: July temperatures average 13 to 17°C. February is usually Finland's coldest month, with temperatures averaging from 22 to -3°C.
In Northern Finland, winter temperatures are 30°C to -50°C and it is snowbound from October to April. Northern Finland lies in the Land of the Midnight Sun and so has continuous daylight during part of the summer. The winter night sky here often becomes enriched with brilliant displays of the aurora borealis or Northern Lights.
Southern Finland never has continuous daylight, though it averages 19 hours of daylight a day in midsummer. Snow covers the ground in southern Finland from December to April.
Finnish food has been influenced by both climate and its location between Sweden and Russia.
