Finland is the crunch of snow underfoot in the stillness of a pine forest; it’s the gentle jangle of sleigh bells as reindeer canter past; it’s that first awe-struck moment bathed in the glow of the Northern Lights. But it’s also the bustle of Helsinki’s waterfront in summer; it’s the smell of fish sizzling on an outdoor grill; it’s the gentle ripple in the surface of the lake as you cast off in your canoe. This beautiful Nordic country has something to offer travellers all year round, whether you’re looking for invigorating outdoor pursuits, incredible wildlife encounters or a stimulating cultural experience.
