Finland has a population of about 5.6 million, with Finnish and Swedish as the official languages and Sámi spoken by Indigenous communities in the far north. Its currency is the Euro (EUR), and the climate is cold continental in the interior and subarctic in Lapland, with long winters, snowy landscapes, and mild, light-filled summers.
Visitors come to Finland for its pristine nature, peaceful atmosphere, and Nordic culture. You can explore Helsinki’s seaside design scene and historic market halls, relax in traditional saunas beside glassy lakes, or venture to Lapland to see the northern lights, meet reindeer herders, and experience the magic of Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi. Outdoor adventures abound with national parks like Nuuksio and Koli offering trails, kayaking, and skiing. Finnish cuisine celebrates local ingredients such as salmon, rye bread, mushrooms, berries, and pastries like korvapuusti, often enjoyed with strong coffee during cozy fika moments. The population is largely Finnish with deep respect for nature, equality, and quiet reflection, expressed through midsummer bonfires, folk music, and minimalist design that defines everyday life.
