1. Helsinki
The capital Helsinki is always an ideal starting point for a journey to explore Finland's summer destinations . During the endless days of June, the city seems to put on a new coat - youthful, radiant and full of energy.
Ancient cobblestone streets lead visitors to the white Helsinki Cathedral, towering over Senate Square, where sunlight streams down on its marble steps. Not far away is the bustling Kauppatori harbor, where you can enjoy grilled salmon, sip Finnish coffee and watch sun-dappled boats glide gently on the Baltic Sea.
Summer is also the ideal time to visit the Suomenlinna fortress – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located on a small archipelago off the coast of Helsinki, Suomenlinna is like a fairytale symphony in the middle of nature. Walking on the grassy paths, following the ancient grey stone walls, you will find your heart quiet before the strangely peaceful beauty of Finland.

2. Lapland
If winter turns Lapland into a land of white snow and the Northern Lights, summer brings a completely different Lapland – fresh, lively and full of light. This is one of the most popular summer tourist destinations in Finland because of the phenomenon of the sun that never sets – “Midnight Sun”.
You can hike through vast fields of wildflowers, kayak across crystal clear lakes or simply sit on a hillside watching reindeer graze in the soft golden light of the night. In Rovaniemi – the capital of Lapland, visitors also have the opportunity to visit Santa Claus Village, a magical place even in the middle of July.
A journey in Lapland is not only an adventure in nature, but also a healing experience for the soul. Amidst the pine forests and clear skies, people seem to touch the deepest level of peace.
3. Lake Saimaa
Located in the southeast, Saimaa is Finland's largest freshwater lake and the heart of many summer vacation destinations in Finland. The lake is like a picturesque landscape painted by clear water, vast birch forests and small islands bobbing in the rippling waves.
Stroll around the small town of Savonlinna and you will come across the ancient Olavinlinna Castle reflecting on the lake, where the famous opera festival takes place every summer. In the morning, the sound of violins echoes in the golden sunrise, making people feel like they are melting. Boating around the lake or trying the saunabus – a mobile sauna floating on the water – is also an experience not to be missed. Every moment in Saimaa has a gentle nuance like a lyrical song playing in a cloudless sky.
4. Turku
The former capital of Finland, Turku is classically beautiful, quiet and somewhat mysterious. In the summer, the city comes alive with street festivals, colorful flea markets and tree-lined old streets.
The Aura River runs through the city, making it an ideal place to stroll or sit on a boat and enjoy dinner while the sunset lingers. Turku Cathedral and its castle are a testament to its quiet yet romantic history. This is one of the Finnish summer tourist destinations that harmoniously combines cultural beauty and nature.
Alternatively, take a ferry trip to the Åland Islands – a paradise of flowers, sea and endless bike paths. The scenery here is gentle and beautiful like a turquoise dream.
5. Nuuksio National Park
Just a 45-minute drive from Helsinki, Nuuksio National Park is a green gem in the heart of the city. One of the most popular summer destinations in Finland for locals, Nuuksio offers the most authentic and up-close experience with Nordic nature.
With trails winding through ancient pine forests, wooden bridges spanning small streams, and mirror-like lakes, Nuuksio is the perfect place to hike, camp, or simply sit quietly by the water, listening to the wind blowing through the trees and feeling the clarity of each breath. As the sunlight filters through the leaves, creating dancing streaks of light on the ground, you’ll understand why Finns love their forests so much.
6. Porvoo
If there is one place where time seems to stand still on a summer afternoon, it is Porvoo. Located about 50km from the capital, Porvoo is one of Finland's oldest cities, notable for its colourful wooden houses lining a picturesque river.
Walking through the cobbled alleys, you will come across artisan bakeries, small cafes, antique bookstores and art galleries with a slow, elegant atmosphere. The summer sunshine makes every corner and every time-stained wall bright, warm and attractive. Porvoo is the perfect choice for those looking for a romantic and nostalgic summer tourist destination in Finland.
Like a prelude to a Nordic symphony, Finnish summer sounds its clearest notes amidst the woods, lakes and golden skies. Whether you choose ancient cities or wild lands, each Finnish summer travel destination has its own story – gentle, profound and unforgettable. Come to Finland in the golden sunshine, to see how beautiful the world can be when the light touches everything that seems familiar.
