How to visit the National Library of Finland in Helsinki

Finland

Finland is not like any country you’ve been to before. The capital of Helsinki is an archipelago of 330 islands beside the Baltic Sea! Whether you’re taking a steamy sauna, swimming in the icy sea, having coffee with Moomins or admiring some epic Finnish architecture – it won’t be something you’ll forget in a hurry. Why not visit Lapland to meet Santa Claus and see the Northern Lights? Let’s start planning your exciting adventure to Finland!

When is the best time to visit?

Between April and October to avoid the bitter Baltic Sea cold. However, the off season means less cruise ships and crowds. Plus, the Christmas markets are magical!

I highly recommend booking Travel Insurance for Finland. I always choose World Nomads;

Things to know before visiting Finland

  1. If you’re from Europe, you do not need a visa to travel to Finland for up to 90 days.
  2. Don’t just visit the capital of Helsinki. I would recommend heading out to other places like Lapland and Turku.
  3. Finland is a very safe country to visit with a low crime rate. I’ve travelled solo here twice and faced no issues at all.
  4. I would recommend taking a ferry to Tallinn in Estonia while in the capital. It makes an awesome day trip.
  5. Buy a Helsinki Card to save lots of money on attractions!
