Summer in Finland - Refreshingly Different

Summer in Finland is a frenzy of activity, with festivals of song and dance staged across the country that make the most of the long light evenings. The Finnish summer is a magical and energizing time, whether you fancy quietly communing with nature or enjoying the feverish cultural life of the towns and cities.

Finland’s vast, meandering waterways of lake, coast and river lend themselves to more actively exciting pursuits, such as canoeing and sailing, while the network of quiet and scenic coastal and country roads are inspiring routes for cyclists.

You can spend a refreshingly different holiday in Finland pursuing various outdoor activities. Here you’ll see a few examples of activity packages for cyclists, hikers, canoeists and horse-riding enthusiasts. You’ll find the same packages in the Active in Finland brochure as well as lots of other interesting suggestions for holidaymakers.
