It may not be what you first imagine when planning a trip to this <a href=\"\/b\/nordic-scandinavia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nordic<\/a> country, but Finland in summer offers countless opportunities for adventure, beauty, and fun. The country\u2019s location in the gulf stream means its climate is much milder than some of its neighbours, and temperatures in the summer reach an average high of 17 degrees Celsius. Here are the best things you can do to make the most of your time in Finland in the summer!<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p><em>Travel to: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/d\/finland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Finland <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14749\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14749\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14749 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland2-min.jpeg\" alt=\"Woman on dock\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland2-min.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland2-min-900x600.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland2-min-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland2-min-300x200.jpeg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/720;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14749\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Tuukka Kaski courtesy of Visit Finland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>1.

Staying in a cottage in Lakeland, Finland\u2019s lake district, gives you a more authentic Finnish vacation, puts you in the middle of nature, and gives you unbeatable views. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most popular destinations in Lakeland include Kuopio, a beautiful, colourful city known for its friendly locals, and Joensuu, a cultural hub home to an annual music festival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though the weather is going to be warmer, you can\u2019t go to Finland without trying out a sauna! Some cottages come equipped with their own saunas, and Finns claim they help with everything from stress, to aging, to weight loss. If nothing else, relaxing in a Finnish sauna is the perfect start or end (or both!) to a day of canoeing and lakefront exploring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14750 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland3-min.jpg\" alt=\"Dock at sunset\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland3-min.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland3-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland3-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland3-min-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/720;\" \/><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/family-vacation-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Where to Take Your Family in Europe (6 Perfect Vacation Destinations)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<h2><b>2.

From low-key evenings to all-day dance parties, you and Finland can make beautiful music together in the summer. Many of the festivals take place in gorgeous lakeside towns where you can kick back with a drink, do a little shopping, or just snap pictures of Finland\u2019s natural beauty between sets. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14751\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14751\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14751 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland4-min.jpg\" alt=\"Flow Festival \" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland4-min.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland4-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland4-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland4-min-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/720;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14751\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Flow Festival.

Enjoy a meal al fresco<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dining outdoors is one of summer\u2019s greatest joys, and Finland takes it to another level. Dinner Under the Helsinki Sky is an annual event that transforms streets, parks, and other urban areas into glamorous dining rooms. Participants to this unofficial tradition bring their own meals to white tablecloth-covered tables long enough to seat up to a thousand people, and enjoy a dinner with friends, family, neighbours, and strangers alike. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your visit doesn\u2019t coincide with this event, fear not! You always have the option of picnicking in one of Finland\u2019s national parks (just be sure to check guidelines for food disposal) or having a meal outside of a local restaurant. Of course, if you agree that Dinner Under the Helsinki Sky is an event not to be missed, you can always come back to fully enjoy it!<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14752\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14752\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14752 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland5-min.jpg\" alt=\"Dining outdoors\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland5-min.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland5-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland5-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland5-min-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/720;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14752\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Lauri Rotko courtesy of Visit Finland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>4.

You\u2019ll find 40 of them all over the country, and each offers unique views, activities, and opportunities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With many including hiking trails, fishing opportunities, and watersports like sailing, canoeing, and swimming, Finland\u2019s national parks shine in the summer. At Koli National Park, in the North Karelia region of the country, visitors can even treat themselves to the perfect summer\u2019s day activity: berry picking! Explorers are welcome to pick (and eat!) blueberries, raspberries, and even Nordic staple, lingonberries. Try your luck collecting the juiciest ones, or go hunting for the edible mushrooms dotted around the landscape. There\u2019s a Finnish National Park for every itinerary and every traveller. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14757\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14757\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14757 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland6-min.jpg\" alt=\"Kayaking\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland6-min.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland6-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland6-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland6-min-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/720;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14757\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Harri Tarvainen courtesy of Visit Finland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/northern-lights-vs-southern-lights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Northern Lights VS Southern Lights: What is the Difference?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<h2><b>5.

Before more modern methods of transportation were available, the easiest way to navigate Finland was by boat. Today, even though those modern modes of transport have definitely made it to Finland, it\u2019s safe to say that travelling the country by boat is still the most scenic way to get around!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of the larger lakes, like Lake Saimaa, offer steamship cruises reminiscent of the old days. Depending on the location of the cruise, you could spend an hour sailing in some of the world\u2019s cleanest water, surrounded by lush forests, or enjoy day-long cruises that visit multiple lakes. You could even go island-hopping! With thousands of small islands in amongst Finland\u2019s lakes, the possibilities for exploration are truly endless; but that doesn\u2019t mean you shouldn\u2019t give it your best shot.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14758\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14758\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14758 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland8-min.jpg\" alt=\"Steamships \" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland8-min.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland8-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland8-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Finland8-min-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/720;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14758\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Jaakko Posti, courtesy of Visit Finland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>6.
