Why choose Finland
- Land of Santa Claus — the village of Joulupukki in Rovaniemi is the official residence of the Finnish Father Christmas. Winter Lapland with reindeer sleighs, ice hotels, and northern lights is a dream for families with children.
- Incredible nature — thousands of lakes, endless coniferous forests, national parks, and crystal-clear air. Finland consistently ranks among the most environmentally friendly countries in the world.
- Finnish sauna — for 5.5 million residents there are over 3 million saunas. Visiting a real Finnish sauna by a lake is a must-do ritual for every guest of the country.
- Design and technology — Helsinki is recognized as a world capital of design. Architecture, furniture, Iittala glass, and Marimekko textiles — Finnish design captivates with its understated beauty.
- Safety and comfort — Finland is among the top three safest countries in the world, with the highest standard of living and friendly residents.
Popular cities and resorts
Helsinki
The capital of Finland on the Baltic Sea coast with distinctive architecture — from the neoclassical cathedral on Senate Square to the futuristic Kamppi Chapel of Silence. The market square, Suomenlinna fortress, the design district, and the Kiasma museum of contemporary art. Flights from Almaty arrive at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.
Rovaniemi
The capital of Lapland and the home of Santa Claus, located right on the Arctic Circle. In winter — reindeer and husky rides, hunting for the northern lights, and ice hotels. In summer — the midnight sun and river rafting. An ideal destination for a family trip from Almaty.
Tampere
Finland's second-largest city, located between two lakes. Former factories have been turned into museums, restaurants, and cultural centers. Tampere is the capital of Finnish saunas, with the unique public sauna Rajaportti — the country's oldest.
Lapland
A magical region in northern Finland beyond the Arctic Circle. Glass igloos for watching the northern lights, the Levi and Saariselka ski resorts, reindeer farms, and the absolute silence of snow-covered forests.
When to go
Finland is wonderful in any season. Winter (December–March) is ideal for Lapland: northern lights, snow activities, and Christmas magic at temperatures of -10...-20 °C. Summer (June–August) brings white nights, lake holidays, hiking trails, and +18...+25 °C. Autumn delights with the bright colors of "ruska" — the Finnish Indian summer. The flight from Almaty to Helsinki takes about 7 hours with a connection.

What to see in Finland

- Northern lights — in Lapland, the aurora borealis is observed up to 200 nights a year. Glass igloo hotels let you admire the lights without leaving your warm bed.
- Nuuksio National Park — pristine forests and lakes 40 minutes from Helsinki. Hiking trails, berries, mushrooms, and a chance to see the flying squirrel — the park's symbol.
- Lake District — the Saimaa region with thousands of lakes, sauna cottages, and the chance to see the rare Saimaa ringed seal — one of the world's rarest seals.
