What is summer like in Finland? 
 
Short but intense, the bright, warm, and lush Finnish summer arrives every year like a miracle after a long period of cold and darkness.
Finland comes alive during the summer months. Summer days are long, we have almost no night, and we can appreciate the midnight sun.
The summer colors give us the perfect setting for a vacation in the south, walking through cities like Helsinki and Tampere, where you can enjoy multiple outdoor activities, bathe in a sauna, and swim until late at night with the sun still present.
