Finland Holidays

One of the most unforgettable things to do in Finland is witnessing the magical Northern Lights in Lapland. A natural wonder that transforms the Arctic sky into a swirling palette of greens, purples, and blues, searching for the Northern Lights is a bucket list experience. Imagine staying in a glass igloo or a cosy Arctic log cabin, wrapped in a warm blanket with hot chocolate in hand, as the sky above you comes alive. From late August to April, is the best time to see the aurora borealis lighting up the night in northern Finnish Lapland. Top destinations like Rovaniemi, Levi, and Saariselkä not only offer high chances of seeing the lights but also unique winter activities like husky sledding, snowmobiling, and ice fishing.

A traditional Finnish sauna is more than just a relaxing experience; it’s a deep-rooted part of the country’s culture and lifestyle. With over two million saunas across the country, it’s safe to say that the sauna is the soul of Finland. Whether you’re heating up in a rustic lakeside cabin or trying one of Helsinki’s modern design saunas like Löyly or Allas Sea Pool, this rejuvenating ritual is a must during your Finnish holiday. For the full Finnish experience, alternate between the intense heat of the sauna and an invigorating plunge into a frozen lake or the Baltic Sea—yes, even in winter!

For lovers of art, style, and architecture, exploring Helsinki’s Design District is a highlight of any trip to Finland. This neighbourhood is a creative hub packed with independent boutiques, artisan studios, and world-renowned Finnish design brands like Marimekko, Iittala, and Artek. As you wander the stylish streets, you'll discover cutting-edge fashion, minimalist home decor, and contemporary Nordic craftsmanship at every turn. Cultural gems like the futuristic Oodi Central Library and the underground Amos Rex Museum showcase Helsinki’s flair for blending innovation with heritage. Just one of the many reasons to choose Finland for your next Scandinavian city break, whether you're browsing galleries or sipping coffee in a design cafe, Helsinki’s design scene is sure to inspire.

Finnish culture is simple, seasonal, and rooted in nature— and so is its food! Expect wild berries, mushrooms, rye bread, salmon, and game meats to appear on most menus across Finland. If you’re looking to try local dishes, karjalanpiirakka (rice pastries), lohikeitto (salmon soup), and poronkäristys (sautéed reindeer) are a great place to start. In summer, market halls and cafes offering fresh, foraged produce are great to explore and test your tastebuds. For drinks, cloudberry liqueur, Finnish craft beers, and coffee (Finns drink more than any nation!) are musts.
