Things to Do in Finland

Finland Building

Finland offers a gamut of interesting places and enchanting destinations that can make your heart rush. Whether you are travelling solo or with your loved ones, make sure not to miss:

  • The Northern Lights

    Finland offers one of the best views of the Aurora Borealis, commonly known as the Northern Lights. The wilderness and windswept beauty of Lapland adds to the mythical charm of this powerfully unique natural phenomenon.

  • The Lively Culture

    Finland is known for its Savonlinna Opera Festival, which is hosted in the covered courtyard of Olavinlinna Castle usually around the months of June to August. The excitement buzzing through the town during the time of this festival, not to mention the sumptuous post-show feasts, is enough reason to visit this far north!

    Most of its towns and cities boast of modern architecture and lifestyle complete with cosy pubs, roadside cafés and sophisticated lounges. If shopping happens to be on your travel agenda, then make sure to visit the innovative design shops in Helsinki to get your hands on unique artefacts.

    Lazy days spent at waterside cottages, visiting the bountiful farmer's market, art exhibitions, lake cruises – there is no dearth of fun experiences here.

  • The Soul-stirring Wilderness

    Each season lends a special beauty to the landscapes of Finland. Winter blankets the snow-covered frozen lakes, pine trees, and rustic homes in a pristine hush. It truly becomes a winter wonderland complete with snowmobiles, a team of sled-carrying dogs and reindeers!

    Summer brings its own magic as the country bursts into life and folks step out as a community to celebrate the bounty of nature. Participate in the festivals, exhibitions and events to enjoy merriment and exhilaration.

    In the end though, it doesn't matter which season you choose to visit Finland, there is just something about its wilderness that invokes a profound calming effect. Try out hiking, ice fishing, skiing, camping or even nature trails to complete the experience.

Visited Finland a few weeks back with my wife. But as soon as we reached the hotel, I discovered that the pouch containing all our travel money was lost! We would be in a complete fix but due to ICICI Lombard Travel Insurance, we got the benefit of Emergency Cash Advance. We are really thankful for ICICI Lombard’s prompt and friendly service.

I have been frequently travelling to Schengen countries over the years but this was my first visit to Austria. On my last day, I had a train to catch and having reached the station late, I ran, slipped and dislocated my shoulder. I felt helpless and panicky. Once I calmed down, I informed ICICI Lombard about my condition and they promptly helped me out; would highly recommend ICICI Lombard to friends.
