Depending on where you go in Finland, you can have anywhere from 15 to 24 hours a day of sunlight during the summertime months. However, in the wintertime months, the sun barely rises. This country of scenic forests, lakes, islands and unspoiled wilderness extends into the Arctic Circle, allowing for the enjoyment of 24-hour daylight.
No doubt visitors will be pleased with the contrasting land that Finland has to offer. After all, it has got forbidding Swedish castles as well as onion-domed Russian churches that will thrill history buffs. Nature buffs can see herds of reindeer that live alongside the native Sami folk found in Lapland of northern Finland. Finland’s capital Helsinki has plenty of cafes, galleries and museums for visitors to enjoy. Beyond the town, there are miles of fresh, clear wilderness air to be explored.
Finland is definitely not lacking in technology even if it has many areas of unspoiled nature in the country. Believe it or not, Finland is actually ahead of the technology game compared to many other countries. More people in Finland have some type of Internet connection than the United Kingdom and the United States.
There’s much to do in Finland including feasting on reindeer steaks, visit the home of Santa Claus in the Artic, take a dogsled ride or ski across fresh new snow or dance to any one of the music and folk festivals that are held every year. It should be of no shock that the country is very undervalued as a European tourist destination spot even though there is much to see and many things to enjoy no matter who decides to visit it.
