Finland holidays

The land with a thousand lakes, where east meets west, the home of sauna and of course Santa Claus.

Discover a world of contrasts, exciting adventures and experiences in Finland's breathtaking countryside. If you are looking for an unforgettable holiday this year, don't look any further than Finland. Carpeted in forest and lakes, Finland is a fresh, clean and exhilarating place, where the summers are warm and light. It's also one of those rare countries where you can experience 'midnight sun'; in midsummer, the sun doesn't set for several weeks, making Finland a magical destination for all the family. Finland is perhaps best known for its tranqility and beautiful nature. Vast forests, a unique archipelago and thousands of lakes present a striking mixture of wooded hills and waters. All of this is complemented by Finnish hospitality and genuinely friendly people.

Spring (March-May) is short and very sweet, an explosion of growth and almost tangible optimism after the long winter. In Helsinki and the south, the snow and ice starts melting midway through March, while in the north it’s more stubborn and can linger right into May. Spring turns into nightless night and everything bursts into life when the summer arrives; imagine reaching for your book at midnight and sitting by a restful lakeside for a quiet read in clear daylight. Or leaving a Helsinki nightclub to find the sun has risen before you have had the chance to go to bed. The winter arrives mid-November and lasts till end of April in Lapland. Snow cover and low temperatures shape Finnish winter and create perfect possibilities for winter sport, truely white wedding or action packed holiday.

Helsinki is also known as the 'Daughter of the Baltic'. This chic capital boasts excellent shopping possibilities and fine dining. Finnish Design is red hot at the moment so make sure to visit Marimekko, iittala and Arabia shops! Helsinki also offers a lively nightlife in all bars, clubs and restaurants. Culture vultures will surely find many exhibitions, galleries and museums to visit.
