Best Time to Visit
The ideal time to visit Finland varies depending on interests, especially for female travellers travelling alone. Summertime (June to August) is the best time to hike in national parks, take in the midnight sun, and go to local festivities. Winter (December to February) is the best time of year to see the northern lights, go ice fishing, and go husky sledging because of the gorgeous snow-covered scenery. Spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) offer more moderate temperatures and chances to see the breathtaking fall foliage or the first blooms of the springtime.
Visa Requirements for Indians
If you are an Indian national travelling to Finland, you must get a Schengen visa. The procedure of applying for a visa is simple and easy to handle. Provide the necessary supporting documentation for your visa applications, including a valid passport, travel itinerary, evidence of lodging, travel insurance, proof of funds, and a visa application form.
Must Visit Places
- Helsinki: Finland’s capital successfully blends modernism and tradition. The thriving Market Square, the Suomenlinna Sea Fortress, and the Helsinki Cathedral are among the must-see sights.
- Tallinn: If you want to see Estonia’s capital city, Tallinn, you can make a small detour and take a day ferry from Helsinki. Discover the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, the UNESCO-listed Old Town, Freedom Square, and the lively cafes and restaurants there.
- Rovaniemi: Lapland’s Rovaniemi, the official hometown of Santa Claus, has to be added to your list. Travel beyond the Arctic Circle, stop by Santa Claus Village and experience an exhilarating husky sledge ride or a reindeer safari.
- Lapland Wilderness: Visit Finland’s magnificent wilderness areas, like Urho Kekkonen National Park and Ranua Wildlife Park, home to moose, Arctic foxes, polar bears, and other Arctic creatures.
- Northern Lights: On gloomy winter nights, experience the captivating aurora borealis in Finland’s northern areas. Choose a guided trip to improve your chances of witnessing this natural occurrence.
