Summer

The summer isn't endless in Finland, but there are almost endless summer days and white nights. In Finnish Lapland a single summer day lasts for over two months. In the southern parts of the country it is never really dark either, just a period of twilight for a few hours. This is why we call Finland the Land of the Midnight Sun.

Season of Midnight Sun

What is Finnish summer like and what can you do in Finland from June to August? We are not called the Land of the Midnight Sun for nothing; the long summer days and white nights are endless. Nature's own light show provides the perfect scenery for cottage holidays, bathing in a sauna, strolling around summer cities – like Helsinki – and going for late-night swims.

Finland comes alive during the summer months. Each Finnish region offers something unique during this season.

Perhaps escaping to a cottage holiday in Lakeland or admiring the nightless night in Lapland is more your cup of tea? Options are endless, like the summer nights.
