It’s true that one can thoroughly see Finland from top to bottom in just under a month. In this beautiful Land of Lakes, birch trees line the water’s edge up and down the country. During our visit to Finland we found that Helsinki and the quaint town of nearby Porvoo were must-sees in the south.
If you can brave the relentless mosquitoes of Lapland in the north, you’ll most certainly be able to see reindeer, and if you are lucky, moose
In Finland, the sauna is central to the culture and it’s not unlikely to see a kota (Finland’s version of a tipi) close to the sauna with sausage cooking hot on the grill.
Unless you love the dark and the cold, summer is the best time to visit Finland when the sun goes down for only a few hours!
