Have you ever wondered what makes Finland the happiest country in the world?

Perhaps it’s the country’s social support networks, social trust, or honest government. Maybe it’s their safe environment, healthy life expectancy, or affinity for the great outdoors. While these factors certainly contribute, one thing is missing from this list: it’s what the Finns call “luxury with a twist.” It’s the luxury of having never-ending daylight in the summer, fresh air to breathe, clean water to drink, untouched nature, and sheer, endless space to explore. Simply put: it’s the luxury of space and time.

  • Let the great outdoors energize you

    Whether you find yourself on one of Finland's coastal islands or in the thick of a buzzing city, nature is always nearby. Experience the bliss of being surrounded by the great forests and vast lakes that cover the country. Take your time to explore - why rush to seize the day when the sun doesn't set during Finnish summers?

  • Enjoy the Midsummer celebrations

    Originating as a celebration of the summer solstice, Midsummer is one of the country’s biggest public holidays and it’s an event you must experience during your time in Finland. Locals celebrate the occasion by lighting bonfires, renting cottages with loved ones, getting out into nature, and partying at music festivals across the country.

  • Feast on local Finnish cuisine

    If you’re yet to sample Finnish cuisine, you’re missing out. In the summer, enjoy Grillimakka with a beer in hand, followed by sweet and in season bilberries in a Mustikkapiirakka. No matter what your tastes are, you won’t be leaving Finland with an empty stomach. Perhaps book a food tour to ensure a truly complete experience.

  • Åland Archipelago

    Finland’s beauty extends beyond the mainland out to the Åland Archipelago, covering more than 6,500 islands. Located on the west coast of Finland, the Åland Islands can be found in the heart of the Baltic Sea. Although only 60 or so are inhabited, you won’t be short of experiences to enjoy including exploring the many hiking trails, visiting historic museums or embarking on a kayaking adventure. 

  • Turku Archipelago

    Picture this: fresh air, an abundance of birdlife to watch and plenty of cycling routes that you can take at your own pace makes the Turku Archipelago on the south-west coast an obvious choice for nature lovers. Boasting an impressive number of islands (an odd 20,000 or so) means there are plenty of natural wonders to marvel at. 

  • Helsinki

    Like any bustling capital, Helsinki is the starting point for most adventures in Finland however it’d be a shame to treat it as just a stopover. Take time to explore the Temppeliaukio Church (Rock Church), the Sibelius Monument, the Uspensky Russian Orthodox Cathedral then enjoy the atmosphere of the Market Square on the harbour. 

  • Lakeland

    If you haven’t heard of the Lakeland area, we guarantee you’ll want to add it to your Finland itinerary. Lakeland is where you will find sparkling waters as far as the eye can see along with luscious forests that cover the majority of central Finland. Cruise on a traditional steamboat, kayak through the waters, spend time in a quintessential cottage or don a pair of ice skates in winter. 

  • Lapland

    Lapland might conjure images of the northern lights, husky-led sled rides, icy forests and traditional cabins blanketed in snow, but there is more to this winter wonderland than you might expect. During summer, Lapland is where you can spend time along the Hetta-Pallas Trail, learn more about Sami culture and explore Lake Inari or Rovaniemi. 

  • Porvoo

    Take a step back in time and visit the medieval town of Porvoo, famous for its historic Old Town that dates back to the Middle Ages. Make sure you carve out time to visit the most recognizable landmark; a row of crooked orange and red houses that sit along the river before making your way to the Porvoo Cathedral that was constructed during the 11th century.

This is also when the country truly sparkles and offers long, sunshine-filled days with surprisingly warm temperatures for a country located so far north in Europe. Visitors should keep in mind that June and July are when locals are most likely to take their vacation and it is worth noting that accommodation and transport arrangements should be booked well in advance.
