Do these before autumn hits… or you might have t Do these before autumn hits… or you might have to wait till next summer 👀

If you’re planning a trip to Finland (or dreaming of one), here’s something you might not know: 👇🏼

A lot of the most magical places here are only open for the summer months.

I’m talking about cute little summer cafés, islands, and even small coastal towns that honestly feel like ghost towns once the cold hits.

So if you’re dreaming of visiting Finland in summer… keep this in mind. Some of the most special experiences are very seasonal ☀️

Which of these would you do first? 👇🏼😊

So in case you didn’t know… 👇🏼 Finland So in case you didn’t know… 👇🏼

Finland is full of churches. Like, you’ll find one in pretty much every town. And me? I’m not exactly out here hunting them down. I don’t know why, they just don’t really fascinate me.

So when my mom said “let’s go check out this chapel,” I was like… okay cool, another stone church that looks like all the others 🙃

But she said the architecture is actually really cool and kind of stunning, so I was in.

It already looked kind of cool from the outside, but the inside blew me away. It’s absolutely stunning. And tell me I’m not the only one who thinks it looks like a boat?? ⛵️

Still not gonna become a full-time church explorer (😅) BUT this was such a cool hidden gem, which I just had to share here as well. It's definitely one of the most unique ones I’ve seen in Finland. 

📍The place is called Saint Henry’s Ecumenical Art Chapel and it’s not your typical church. It’s a modern art chapel where architecture, art, and spirituality come together in the coolest way.

Would you explore a place like this? Or would you be like “nah, I’ll pass”? 👇🏼

Because did you know this… Finland is one of t Because did you know this… 

Finland is one of the most peaceful, calmest, and quiet countries in the world. Look closely at these videos, hardly any people around, right? That’s not just luck, it’s just how things roll here 😎

Sure, the popular spots and big events bring out some crowds, but for the most part, you get all the space to breathe, wander, and just be.

So if you’re craving that kind of calm getaway where you can breathe and soak it all in and not have to set your alarm just to avoid the crowds, welcome to Finland ✨️

📩 Share this with your travel buddy who’s dreaming of quiet lakes and endless forests.

This is the ultimate summer experience ☀️ As This is the ultimate summer experience ☀️

As a local, this is my absolute favorite part of the summer. When I finally get to go to our family’s summer cottage ✨ It’s the highlight I look forward to all through the dark, freezing winter. And honestly? I think this is something every traveler needs to experience at least once.

You get a little taste of how locals actually do summer in Finland, not just city cafés and pretty nature spots, but this:

🪵A quiet cottage (probably made of wood) 
🧖🏼‍♀️A sauna, always
🌲 Forest all around you. No traffic. No neighbors. Just peace.
🌞 Long lazy days where nothing is scheduled 
📵 No distractions. Maybe no Wi-Fi. And weirdly? You won’t miss it.

This is how we do summer in Finland 🇫🇮 And if you ask me, it’s the most magical part of the whole season ✨️

Is this something you would like to experience?

Here’s a truth bomb for you 👇🏼😅 As you Here’s a truth bomb for you 👇🏼😅

As you probably know by now, I’m not here to sugarcoat anything. I keep it real. Brutally honest. Like a true Finn 😅

So, you’re planning a summer trip to Finland? Amazing! 👏🏼 Swimming in the sea? Double amazing! 👏🏼👏🏼

BUT… here comes the plot twist.

Our waters in Finland? They might still be a bit chilly in JULY. Yup. Middle of summer and you’re still mentally prepping for that first dip.

If you hate cold water (like I do 🙋‍♀️), getting in might take you a while. You might even scream. Or cuss. Or both. (No judgment, because I did too 😂)

And for context, this was BEFORE the heatwave hit Finland, so yes, it’s a tiny bit better now. But still not tropical, let’s just say that.

So bring your courage and maybe a sauna nearby 🙌🏼

Have you swum in the Finnish sea? Or would you dare?
