Finland Country Information

Country information

Celestial wonders are practically commonplace in Finland.

Whether it's the disconcerting, perpetual daylight of the Midnight Sun, or the spectral beauty of the Northern Lights over midwinter nightscapes, Finland's sky has a dual personality, much like the land it covers.

On one hand, Finland sits on the edge of design and technology cool: famous exports in recent years come with iconic names such as Aalto, Marimekko and of course, Nokia. On the flipside, Finland is one of Europe's last frontiers; its sparse population and wide-open arctic spaces make it a polar playground for modern day adventurers.
