From <strong>June to August<\/strong> you&#8217;ll enjoy long white nights, lakes warm enough for swimming, canoeing and easy-going wanders around Helsinki without the crowds. People still travel above the Arctic Circle in summer for the polar day, when the sun barely sets \u2013 but you won&#8217;t catch the lights then.<\/p>\\n<p>The shoulder seasons (April, May, September, October) are cheaper and quieter, but the weather is a lottery \u2013 either dirty melting snow or cold rain. If you have a specific goal (lights vs. summer by the lakes), stick to the main months and you&#8217;ll save yourself the disappointment.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- LK_DEST_TIPS start -->\n<!-- LK_DEST_TIPS end -->\n\n\n\n<!-- LK_DEST_GYG start -->\n<!-- LK_DEST_GYG end -->\n\n\n\n<!-- LK_DEST_MAP start -->\n<div class=\"lk-dest\"><div class=\"lk-dest-h\">Mapa: Finland<\/div><div id=\"lk-dest-map-finsko\" class=\"lk-dest-lmap\"><\/div><div class=\"lk-dest-mapcap\">\ud83d\udccd 3 m\u00edst z na\u0161ich \u010dl\u00e1nk\u016f \u2014 klikni na bod \u00b7 \u00a9 OpenStreetMap<\/div><script>(function(){function init(){var el=document.getElementById('lk-dest-map-finsko');if(!el||el._lk)return;el._lk=1;var map=L.map(el).setView([64,26],5);L.tileLayer('https:\/\/{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org\/{z}\/{x}\/{y}.png',{attribution:'\u00a9 OpenStreetMap',maxZoom:18}).addTo(map);var ic=L.icon({iconUrl:'https:\/\/unpkg.com\/leaflet@1.9.4\/dist\/images\/marker-icon.png',iconRetinaUrl:'https:\/\/unpkg.com\/leaflet@1.9.4\/dist\/images\/marker-icon-2x.png',shadowUrl:'https:\/\/unpkg.com\/leaflet@1.9.4\/dist\/images\/marker-shadow.png',iconSize:[25,41],iconAnchor:[12,41],popupAnchor:[1,-34],shadowSize:[41,41]});var M=[{\"lat\": 67.69224, \"lng\": 26.72814, \"t\": \"Laponsko: 20 tip\u016f, co vid\u011bt a za\u017e\u00edt v zemi pol\u00e1rn\u00ed z\u00e1\u0159e 2026\", \"u\": \"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/laponsko-co-videt\/\", \"i\": \"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/laponsko-featured-768x576.jpg\"}, {\"lat\": 67.69224, \"lng\": 26.72814, \"t\": \"Pol\u00e1rn\u00ed z\u00e1\u0159e v Laponsku: kdy, kde a jak ji vid\u011bt v roce 2026\", \"u\": \"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/polarni-zare-laponsko\/\", \"i\": \"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/polarni-zare-laponsko-featured-768x576.jpg\"}, {\"lat\": 60.16662, \"lng\": 24.94354, \"t\": \"Helsinki: 15 tip\u016f, co vid\u011bt a d\u011blat ve finsk\u00e9 metropoli\", \"u\": \"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/helsinki-co-videt\/\", \"i\": \"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/helsinki-co-videt-featured-768x501.jpg\"}];var g=[];M.forEach(function(p){var mk=L.marker([p.lat,p.lng],{icon:ic}).addTo(map);var d=document.createElement('div');d.className='lk-mpop';if(p.i){var im=document.createElement('img');im.src=p.i;im.alt=p.t;im.loading='lazy';d.appendChild(im);}var h=document.createElement('div');h.className='lk-mpop-t';h.textContent=p.t;d.appendChild(h);var a=document.createElement('a');a.href=p.u;a.target='_blank';a.rel='noopener';a.className='lk-mpop-b';a.textContent='P\u0159e\u010d\u00edst \u2192';d.appendChild(a);mk.bindPopup(d,{minWidth:222,maxWidth:240});g.push(mk);});if(g.length){map.fitBounds(L.featureGroup(g).getBounds().pad(0.25),{maxZoom:9});}setTimeout(function(){map.invalidateSize();},350);}if(window.L){init();return;}var c=document.createElement('link');c.rel='stylesheet';c.href='https:\/\/unpkg.com\/leaflet@1.9.4\/dist\/leaflet.css';document.head.appendChild(c);var s=document.createElement('script');s.src='https:\/\/unpkg.com\/leaflet@1.9.4\/dist\/leaflet.js';s.onload=init;document.head.appendChild(s);})();<\/script><\/div>\n<!-- LK_DEST_MAP end -->\n\n\n\n<!-- LK_DEST_ITINER start -->\n<!-- LK_DEST_ITINER end -->\n\n\n\n<!-- LK_DEST_REGIONS start -->\n<!-- LK_DEST_REGIONS end -->\n\n\n\n<!-- LK_DEST_ARTICLES start -->\n<!-- LK_DEST_ARTICLES end -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"doprava\">How to get to Finland<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The quickest and easiest way to reach Finland from Czechia is to fly.
