The summer is marked by long days in Finland, especially in the far north where the sun does not set at all. Tourists can go fishing and canoeing. There are several large lakes, including lakes Saimaa, Inari, and Päijänne as you can see in Finland tourist map. Walking is quite a popular activity in the summer. There are no high mountains in Finland, so climbing is somewhat limited. The highest mountain is Halti near Enontekiö. In the winter there is a large snowcastle with an Ice hotel built every year in the northern town of Kemi. Rovaniemi is a place from which to see the Aurora Borealis or Northern lights. Tourists in the north of the country in winter often enjoy trips in reindeer sleighs with Sami drivers, or in dog sleighs. Helsinki, Finland capital and largest city, receives many visitors year-round. During the summertime thousands of tourists approach Helsinki by cruising boats travelling across the Baltic Sea. Helsinki is known as a clean, modern and safe meeting point between the east and west. Helsinki has a reputation as the coolest party city in the Nordic countries. Other popular tourist destinations within Finland include Tampere, Turku, Oulu, Rovaniemi and Porvoo.
Finland is famous for its many lakes, nearly 200,000 of them (larger than 500 m²/0.12 acres) as its shown in Finland tourist map. Finland is also known to have excellent water quality, and green deep woods and forests around the sea, rivers, and the waterways. In Finland, tourists can sit on the shore of a lake, fishing, watching reindeer or moose and enjoying silence. In wintertime Finland provides excellent opportunities for cross-country skiing and some for alpine skiing too. Many of the popular ski resorts are situated north of the Arctic Circle in Lapland, but there are exceptions like Kuusamo in the northeastern part of Oulu Province. Santa Claus is commonly known to live on Korvatunturi in Finland. In the town of Rovaniemi there is the Santa Claus Village for tourists to visit. Helsinki is relatively small and intimate but lively and bustling. The nearby islands are its summer delights. Because Helsinki is located on the coast of the Baltic Sea and has many kilometres of coastline, most of its central districts are near the seaside.
According to tourism accounts, tourism has become more important for the Finnish economy in recent years. Revenue generated by tourism has amounted to over EUR 16 billion. In 2019, foreign tourists spent about EUR 5,3 billion in Finland. The tourism cluster provided employment for 154 000 people in 2019. Tourism has also significant multiplier effects on other sectors, such as construction, transport, and commerce. In addition, an estimated 12 million hours were worked in the hotel and restaurant sector in 2017, which corresponds to approximately 6,500 full-time equivalent jobs. The share of tourism in GDP was higher than the national average (2.7 %) in Åland (20 %), Lapland (7.5 %), Kainuu (3.8 %), Southern Savonia (3.7 %), South Karelia (3.2 %) and Uusimaa (3.1 %) as its mentioned in Finland tourist map.

Suomenlinna Fortress, one of the world largest sea fortresses, the 18th-century fort on Suomenlinna is a 15-minute ferry ride from Helsinki Market Square (a mini-cruise that has lovely views of the city as a bonus attraction). Begin with the audio-visual experience in the visitor center for a lively history, then explore its ramparts, tunnels, and museums and walk the trails around the beautiful island. Or sign up here for a guided walk to learn more about the fort and its various attractions. Helsinki harbor is an integral part of the city, whose important landmarks overlook it. It i also a popular gathering point, with an open-air market of local farmers, craftsmen, food producers, and fishermen, who sell directly from their boats as you can see in Finland attractions map. You may catch the fragrance of salmon cooking over cedar planks beside the boats, and depending on the season see a rainbow of glistening ripe berries or baskets of foraged woodland mushrooms.
The Arctic Circle runs across northern Finland, right through the town of Rovaniemi, giving it claim to being the Gateway to the Arctic as its shown in Finland attractions map. In the summer, this means the famous Midnight Sun. Rovaniemi is in the center of a vast natural area of rushing rivers for canoeing, swimming, or fishing, with trails alongside them for hiking and cycling. Three of the top places to visit in Helsinki are churches, two of them cathedrals and the third a landmark of modern architecture. Uspensky Orthodox Cathedral rises dramatically above the east side of the harbor, its 13 green-topped spires ending in gold cupolas. On the hill directly behind the harbor and an equally visible attraction to those approaching Helsinki by sea, the huge Neoclassical Lutheran Cathedral is so close and so large that it appears to be standing on the roofs of the harbor-front buildings. Savonlinna is the main city of Finland lake region. A popular spa and holiday resort, Savonlinna grew up around Olavinlinna Castle, begun in 1475 and Europe northernmost medieval stone fortress still standing.
In the winter, the Arctic region is a paradise for skiers and others who love snow and ice sports. You can ride across frozen lakes and visit Sami villages on a dogsled safari, learn to drive your own reindeer sled, snowshoe, or cross-country ski for miles, and watch the spectacular northern lights as its mentioned in Finland attractions map. For most people, seeing the northern lights is a once-in-a-lifetime treat. Finland is one of the best places in the world for seeing these blazing curtains of light drape across the sky. Although, at times, the lights can be seen even in the southern most regions of the nation, the best place to see them is in the region close to or north of the Arctic Circle. The country second oldest town, Porvoo, is 48 kilometers east of Helsinki. It rises from a picturesque riverfront lined with little red wooden buildings, through a charming tangle of old streets and ochre-colored wooden houses to its hilltop medieval cathedral. Attractions here are the ornate 1764 pulpit and wall paintings from the 15th century.
