This is an excellent time for outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and exploring the country’s lakes and forests. You can also enjoy the famous Midnight Sun in northern Finland.

  • Winter (December to February): For a winter wonderland experience, visit Finland during the snowy months. Lapland offers the opportunity for winter sports, visiting Santa Claus Village, and seeing the mesmerizing Northern Lights. Southern Finland also has Christmas markets and festive celebrations.
