About Finland

Finland is a Nordic country bordering Sweden, Norway, and Russia, with a border along Russia that runs for more than 1,300 kilometres — the longest of any EU member state. Long militarily non-aligned, Finland joined NATO in 2023 in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, ending decades of formal neutrality, while its EU membership dates to 1995. Finnish and Swedish are both official languages, a legacy of centuries of Swedish rule before Finland's 1917 independence from Russia.

Helsinki's compact, design-forward center — the neoclassical Senate Square, the granite-carved Temppeliaukio Rock Church, and the sea fortress of Suomenlinna — sits at the southern edge of a country that's roughly 75% forest and dotted with well over 100,000 lakes. Rovaniemi, up in Lapland on the Arctic Circle, is the official hometown of Santa Claus and one of the best-placed cities in the world for viewing the Northern Lights.

Because Finland sits at the top of the Baltic Sea, several Voyzo routes here continue on from Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia rather than staying inside Finland alone — every one of those routes discloses exactly which nights are spent in which country, with hotels confirmed for wherever you're actually staying that night.

Know Before You Go — Finland

Visa & Entry

Finland is part of the Schengen Area. Citizens of the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and many other countries can enter visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period; check current Schengen requirements before traveling.

Language

Finnish and Swedish are both official languages nationwide, though Finnish is dominant outside a handful of coastal areas. English is widely spoken, especially in Helsinki and the tourism industry.

NATO & EU Membership

Finland joined NATO in 2023, ending decades of military non-alignment, and has been an EU member since 1995. It shares the EU's longest external land border with Russia, over 1,300 km, though this has no practical bearing on typical visitor itineraries.

Currency

Finland uses the euro. Tipping isn't obligatory since service is included in prices, though rounding up or a small tip for good service is appreciated.

Getting Around

Helsinki's core sights are walkable, but Rovaniemi and Lapland sit far to the north, reached by domestic flight or overnight train — the two regions are typically treated as separate legs of a trip rather than day trips from each other.

Weather & What to Pack

Helsinki summers are mild but can be cool near the water. Lapland winters regularly drop below -15°C/5°F, so thermal layers, insulated boots, and windproof outerwear are essential if your trip heads north in winter.
