    What our travellers are saying...

    From beginning to end it was absolutely superb. We loved the hotel- the staff were wonderful and all the activities were first class. We also managed to fit in skiing and meeting the reindeer… I did not want to leave

    I recently took my family on the most incredible trip to Pyha in Lapland. A place where the air feels so pure it encourages you to slow down, breathe deeper, and truly switch off. As a travel professional myself, I did have quite in depth knowledge of this part of the world - and as such, there was no one else that I would trust more to deliver an authentic stay where we were all truly looked after, than Not In The Guidebooks.

    Sara

    Fantastic experience. We joined a tour to find Santa in Finland and it was just perfect. The guides (elves!), reindeers, the whole experience was just superb. Obviously our 3 years old daughter was all around the place, but it felt really good for us adults - it spoke to our inner child. Spoiler: we've also found Santa's cabin. Recommended!

    László

    We went to Lapland - it is a must! Just the most magical, unforgettable experience with brilliant memories (and fantastic photos) to last a lifetime. My children loved it and I can’t wait to return - hopefully one day with their children.

    Expect temperatures of around 10 degrees in most parts of the country from April to May.

    While you may find snow on the ground in the far north, spring is a pleasant time in Finland as the days start to get longer and the sun makes more of an appearance. However, that being said, you’ll still need to come prepared if you are planning to visit then. Layers are key if you are hoping to move around the country as well as make the transition from day to night.

    Expect temperatures of around 15-20 degrees in most parts of the country from June to August.

    Enjoy Finland’s long summer days and surprisingly warm weather. Around Helsinki, you can even expect the temperatures to rise above 20 degrees in July. Lapland is opened up to hikers, climbers, mountain bikers, you name it. Go bear spotting, hike the rugged countryside, or take a canoe out onto an idyllic, peaceful lake.

    Expect temperatures of around 15 degrees in September dropping to below 0 in November.

    Finland’s autumn colours make a wonderful entrance in September and October but don’t hang around for too long as the first snow starts to fall in October or November. Generally, the country is windy and wet in the autumn and it is not considered to be the best season to visit as temperatures start to fall significantly over the months.

    Expect temperatures below freezing, around -10 degrees in the south and extremes of up to -20 or -30 in the north.

    If you’re after snow, snow, more snow and the Northern Lights, then these months are your best bet. Head north and you can absolutely guarantee perfect conditions for skiing, snowmobiling and any other snow-based activity, and your chances of seeing the Northern Lights are at their very best – you won’t get a better time or place to see them anywhere, at any other time, in the world.

    Finland’s geographic position means the weather here can be quite diverse, depending on the season you visit and which part of the country you visit. Finland’s capital, Helsinki, lies to the south of the country and so is warmer than you would probably think, whereas the region of Lapland to the north is a snowy wonderland.

    Best Places to Visit

    Top tips for visiting Finland

    Take proper winter clothing – a thick waterproof coat, waterproof shoes, hat, gloves & scarf, don’t underestimate how cold it is.

    Visit Lapland: Whether you’re in search of Santa, the Northern Lights or a snowmobile adventure, Lapland is a totally unique area in Finland.

    Get sweaty in a sauna: The Finns take their saunas seriously and it is a weekly ritual for most households. You’ll find them in most houses!

    Everyman’s Rights: In Finland, you are encouraged to embrace nature; pick berries, go camping, but respect the environment and leave it as you found it.

    Look but don’t touch: If you are lucky enough to meet a reindeer during your visit, please don’t pet them. Petting is threatening to them.
