Reasons to visit the happiest country in the world

If you are looking for quality of life, design, nature, respect for the environment, Finland is the right direction and has been at the top of the list of happiest countries for 5 years.

There is plenty of room for everyone, as there are only 5.5 million Finns, nature is protected, cities are alive, saunas are everywhere and beautiful and the sun shines until midnight. Here are 9 reasons why you should visit Finland.

It is the happiest country in the world

In the ranking of the happiest people in the world, Finns took first place for the fifth year in a row. Even if you want to learn the secret of happiness, you should go to Finland. To measure it, the World Happiness Report considers not only GDP, well-being, services and levels of corruption, but also social support, mutual generosity, trust in institutions, government honesty.

Midnight sun

In Finland the sun never sets in the summer and is always there on the horizon, even at midnight. The closer you get to the Arctic Circle, the brighter the sun shines. Light allows you to spend evenings by the lakes, organize boat or canoe trips and dine around the barbeque. It is enough to copy the Finns, who know how to best enjoy the glow of the night in country cottages, as well as in the city.

The forests are endless

75% of the Finnish territory is covered with forests and there are 41 national parks. The last one included in the list this year is the Salla park, in the southeastern part of Lapland, considered one of the wildest areas in Europe, where only 3000 people and 10000 deer live. An ideal place for cycling, walking, snowshoeing or skiing excursions, respecting the environment.

It's not hot

Although not immune to the dynamics of climate change, average temperatures in Finland are always lower than what we experienced this summer in the Mediterranean. It can be hot, but never too hot and it is almost a cold climate.

It's sauna heaven

The sauna was invented here and today there are 3.3 million for 5.5 million inhabitants, so one per house, plus a host of public saunas. The sauna capital of the world is the city of Tampere, where there are 43 public saunas. On the terrace of Lapland Hotels Arena, on the 12th floor, there are 3 saunas with hydromassage tubs, a bar and a panoramic restaurant. You can also find the sauna in the restaurant: Periscope, for example, has a terrace equipped with 350 square meters of sauna to accommodate up to 25 people, with sofas and lounge areas.

Beaches in the Baltic

One of the most beautiful and wide beaches in Finland is located in Yyteri, a long expanse of dunes washed by the waters that have received the blue flag. The long beach is equipped to practice many sports (swimming, surfing and paddle-boarding) and also has a hotel, a golf course and a wellness center.

Åland Islands

You can't leave here without a visit to the islands. This year Finland celebrates the centenary of the autonomy of the Åland archipelago, 6,700 islands located along the stretch of coast closest to Sweden, which can also be reached by ferry from Helsinki. There are numerous bridges and boats to get from one island to another, so you can visit them with great ease. Don't miss the Åland Harvest Festival from 16 to 18 September, with music, dancing, exhibitions, the chance to visit apple and cider farms and sample the local gastronomy.

Scandinavian architecture and design

Artek, Marimekko, Fiskars, Ittala and Aalto are some of the fashion and design brands that Finland is known for around the world. And so are the works of contemporary architecture created in recent years that have contributed to making Helsinki an international landmark. Helsinki Design Week was from 8 to 18 September 2022, the 2022 Fiskars Village Art and Design Biennale (until 4 September) and the Alvaar Aalto Sanatorium in Paimio are good reasons to think about a trip to Finland.

300 islands of Helsinki

The Finnish capital, where every trip to Finland begins, is a wonderful city located on 300 islands, with a very high quality of life, large green spaces, an excellent public transport system, wonderful libraries (such as Oodi), an area where you can explore every street, museums and beautiful restaurants offering the best Scandinavian cuisine. Don't miss an evening at Juttutupa, one of the oldest clubs where you can listen to music, the historic cafe Ekberg and of course, a design sauna, like Löyly, overlooking the bay, with a restaurant and lounge bar where you can stay late into the evening .
