Best Time to Visit:
Shoulder Season: April to May, September to October, and November to March
Spring is when the snow begins to thaw, and nature revives itself after the freezing winter.
Fall is when the weather is stunning, and the beautiful autumn colors take over the landscape.
Although this is the low season in most of the country, it is a busy time of the year for Lapland and the ski-resorts.
High Season: June to August
This is the warmest time of the year and when the Midnight Sun effect spreads all across the country, giving you over 20 hours of unrestrained sunlight for you to explore the country.
All the smaller towns will also be pretty active and there’ll be discounts in Helsinki, due to the high volume of tourists present.
