Finland Packing List Tips by finlandia

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: In the photo you see the first snow in Lapland. Fall (autumn) may be rainy in Finland. Summers are usually pleasantly dry and sunny (daytime temperatures usually between +15 and +25 degrees Celsius) - but occasionally wet. So don´t forget your umbrella home. A summer climate in Finland is more rainy than in the Mediterranean area but not so rainy as in Central Europe. Nights may be cold especially in Northern Finland. The best advice on packing for Finland is to bring layers of clothes.

Toiletries & Medical Supplies: You haven´t anything to worry about healthwise in Finland. However, you should know that you may have an uncomfortable time if you coincide with the mosquito season. The time of the season and the amount of mosquitos depends on weather conditions. Sometimes you don´t see mosquitos at all and sometimes there may be mosquitos everywhere especially in the forests of Lapland and near lakes. Enquire about the most effective mosquito repellants (hyttysmyrkky in Finnish) from chemists in Finland, who know their own brand of insect.
