Finland Holidays

Overview

Cutting-edge cultural scenes and trail-blazing cities, vast swathes of deep, untouched forests and countless crystal blue lakes, endless summer days and magical, glowing winter nights, Finland is a country that offers it all. Whether you’re looking for an invigorating activity holiday in Finland or a unique Finnish day experience, you’re in for a serious treat.

Go and experience some of the world’s best hiking in the expanses of its national parks, snowshoeing through breathtaking natural scenery. Discover the snow-topped mountains and go searching for Santa in Lapland.

    What our travellers are saying...

    We have just returned from our amazing adventure to Lapland. We had a brilliant time and packed so much in to our 4 days but without feeling we were rushing around. The food and accommodation were fantastic and the activities were excellent too, so many firsts and ‘bucket-list’ things. We also managed to fit in a husky sledge tour and a day at the local ski slope. Thank you to the excellent team of guides (Tamara and Hamma specifically), expe

    I came to Finland for the Aurora, but I stayed for the people. They are the ones that took my stay from just plain awesome to completely amazeballs! Forget about going anywhere else and book your experience of a lifetime with this small team. Treat my new friends in a faraway land with kindness and respect and they will go above and beyond for you, guaranteed.

    We booked the 3 night, four day romantic package with an added activity to visit a Husky farm and it was truly spectacular. The temperatures were low but the cabins and restaurant are warm and they provide you with ski suits, gloves and boots for the activities. 10 minutes hot water in the shower is more than sufficient and the food was good with lots of home made soups, stews and vegetables which are perfect for the weather. All the staff were f

    We stayed in the Northern Lights village in Saarisselka which was a lovely place. The accommodation was great, the glass roof looked amazing, just a shame we didn't get to see the northern lights! The food in the hotel was great 90% of the time. I was disappointed paying 16 euros for chicken nuggets only for them to be served an hour later on the buffet. The excursions were good although we did end up in a heated sleigh only for it to be blowin

    Best Time to Visit Finland

    Spring Summer Autumn Winter

    Expect temperatures of around 10 degrees in most parts of the country from April to May.

    While you may find snow on the ground in the far north, spring is a pleasant time in Finland as the days start to get longer and the sun makes more of an appearance. However, that being said, you’ll still need to come prepared if you are planning to visit then. Layers are key if you are hoping to move around the country as well as make the transition from day to night.

    Expect temperatures of around 15-20 degrees in most parts of the country from June to August.

    Enjoy Finland’s long summer days and surprisingly warm weather. Around Helsinki, you can even expect the temperatures to rise above 20 degrees in July. Lapland is opened up to hikers, climbers, mountain bikers, you name it. Go bear spotting, hike the rugged countryside, or take a canoe out onto an idyllic, peaceful lake.

    Expect temperatures of around 15 degrees in September dropping to below 0 in November.

    Finland’s autumn colours make a wonderful entrance in September and October but don’t hang around for too long as the first snow starts to fall in October or November. Generally, the country is windy and wet in the autumn and it is not considered to be the best season to visit as temperatures start to fall significantly over the months.

    Expect temperatures below freezing, around -10 degrees in the south and extremes of up to -20 or -30 in the north.

    If you’re after snow, snow, more snow and the Northern Lights, then these months are your best bet. Head north and you can absolutely guarantee perfect conditions for skiing, snowmobiling and any other snow-based activity, and your chances of seeing the Northern Lights are at their very best – you won’t get a better time or place to see them anywhere, at any other time, in the world.
