Welcome to Finland
Welcome to Finland, where stunning landscapes meet warm hospitality. Known as the land of a thousand lakes, it’s a paradise for adventurers and innovators alike. Explore vibrant cities like Espoo and Helsinki, hike ancient forests, or witness the midnight sun and Northern Lights.
Finland boasts world-class education, cutting-edge technology, and a deep commitment to sustainability. As one of the happiest countries on Earth, it welcomes visitors with inclusivity and curiosity.
September is one of the most beautiful times to visit Finland. The weather is mild, with daytime temperatures ranging from 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F). It’s perfect for outdoor activities and exploring the fall foliage, known as ruska in Finnish.


Espoo: Finland’s Innovation and Nature Hub
Espoo is a city of contrasts, where cutting-edge innovation meets pristine nature. Home to Aalto University and the VTT Technical Research Centre, the Otaniemi district thrives as a hub for research, start-ups, and sustainable solutions shaping the future.
Beyond technology, Espoo offers plenty for nature lovers and culture enthusiasts. Visit Pentala Archipelago Museum to explore traditional island life, hike the scenic trails of Nuuksio National Park, or stroll along the coastal Rantaraitti walkways. Art lovers can admire contemporary works at EMMA or explore the WeeGee Exhibition Centre, while history buffs can step back in time at Glims Farmstead Museum.
Helsinki: The Cultural and Design Capital
Helsinki, Finland’s vibrant capital, is a dynamic blend of culture, innovation, and design. Stroll through the Design District, relax along the waterfront promenades, or explore its rich history and architecture.
Discover the UNESCO-listed Suomenlinna Sea Fortress, the breathtaking Temppeliaukio Rock Church, and the lively Market Square for local flavors and crafts. Art lovers can visit Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, while book enthusiasts will love the striking Helsinki Central Library Oodi. For a glimpse into Finland’s past, the Seurasaari Open-Air Museum offers traditional wooden architecture and scenic nature trails.


Finland blends innovation with tradition, offering a journey through tech-driven Espoo, cultural Helsinki, and serene wilderness. Built on creativity, sustainability, and natural beauty, it’s one of the world’s happiest countries.
No visit is complete without savoring Finnish cuisine—warm up with creamy lohikeitto (salmon soup), enjoy hearty rye bread and karjalanpiirakka (Karelian pies) with egg butter, or try leipäjuusto (bread cheese) with cloudberry jam. September is peak season for fresh lingonberries, bilberries, and cloudberries, making it the perfect time to experience Finland’s natural flavors.
