• Fake Tour Guides
• In tourist-heavy areas, some unlicensed individuals may approach tourists offering guided tours for a high fee. They may not be qualified and could provide inaccurate information.
• How to avoid: Always book tours through reputable, licensed companies or online platforms with reviews.

• Street Performers or Beggars
• Some people may pose as street performers or beggars but are actually part of organized scams to ask for money or sell counterfeit goods.
• How to avoid: Avoid giving money to strangers on the street or purchasing items from unauthorized street vendors.

• Accommodation Scams
• Some fraudulent websites or platforms may advertise fake or non-existent accommodations, leading to tourists paying for a place that doesn’t exist.
• How to avoid: Always book accommodations through trusted, well-known platforms like Booking.com, Airbnb, or official hotel websites. Read reviews carefully.

• Fake Souvenir Shops
• Some shops may sell overpriced or counterfeit Finnish souvenirs (e.g., fakes of famous Finnish brands like Marimekko or Iittala).
• How to avoid: Buy souvenirs from established stores, particularly those in tourist areas or recognized chains. If it seems too cheap to be true, it might be a fake.

• Public Transport Overcharges
• Although uncommon, there have been isolated reports of tourists being charged extra for public transport tickets or getting incorrect change.
• How to avoid: Always purchase tickets from official machines or kiosks, check prices before boarding, and make sure to validate your ticket if needed.

• Online Shopping Scams
• Like in other countries, Finland has online shopping scams where websites may trick buyers into paying for goods that don’t arrive.
• How to avoid: Be cautious when shopping online, especially from lesser-known websites. Use trusted platforms and check for reviews and secure payment methods (e.g., PayPal).

• Weather Conditions
• Finland experiences extreme weather, especially in winter, with temperatures often dropping below freezing. Snow and ice can make traveling difficult, especially in remote areas.
• Tip: Be prepared for cold temperatures and unpredictable weather by dressing in layers and checking weather forecasts regularly.

• Moss and Mushrooms
• Finland is famous for its wild mushrooms and berries, but some can be poisonous if not identified correctly.
• Tip: Only consume mushrooms and berries if you are sure of their safety, and consider joining a guided foraging tour for the best advice.

• Wild Animals
• Finland is home to large wildlife, including bears, wolves, moose, and reindeer, especially in rural and forested areas. While sightings are rare, it’s important to be cautious in nature.
• Tip: When hiking or walking in the wilderness, make noise to avoid surprising wildlife, and always respect their space. Be aware of bear warnings in remote areas.

• Alcohol Laws
• Finland has strict alcohol laws, with alcohol sales regulated and limited to certain times and places. The minimum drinking age is 18 for beer and wine and 20 for spirits.
• Tip: Alcohol can only be purchased from government-owned stores (Alko), and the selection in supermarkets is limited. Be aware of store hours, especially in smaller towns.

• Sauna Etiquette
• Sauna culture is an integral part of Finnish life, and proper etiquette should be respected. Public saunas usually require people to be naked (though swimwear is common in some areas) and quiet, private, and respectful.
• Tip: If invited to a sauna, follow the host’s lead, be respectful of privacy, and be aware that it’s a time for relaxation and peace.

• Rural Areas Have Limited Services
• While Finland is well-developed, rural and northern areas may have limited services, particularly in winter. Transport can also be scarce, and some areas may be difficult to reach.
• Tip: Plan ahead when traveling outside major cities. Ensure you have necessary supplies, and check for available transport or road conditions before heading out.

• Tipping Practices
• Tipping is not mandatory in Finland, and service charges are typically included in the price. However, rounding up the bill or giving small tips for exceptional service is appreciated.
• Tip: In restaurants, rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% for exceptional service is common but not expected.

• Manners and Silence
• Finns are known for their quiet and reserved nature, especially in public spaces like public transport or in restaurants. Silence is often valued in social settings.
• Tip: Avoid speaking loudly in public places and respect people’s personal space. Silence isn’t seen as awkward but rather as a sign of respect for others.

• Public Transportation Systems
• Public transportation is efficient but can be crowded during rush hours, especially in cities. Be mindful of rules regarding seat reservation, quiet areas, and ticket validation.
• Tip: Always validate your ticket before boarding public transport, and follow local rules about where to sit and how to behave in public spaces.

• Language Barrier
• While many Finns speak excellent English, especially in larger cities, Finnish is the national language, and many rural areas have fewer English speakers.
• Tip: Learn a few basic phrases in Finnish, such as “kiitos” (thank you) and “hyvää päivää” (good day), or rely on translation apps for communication in remote areas.

• Cashless Society
• Finland is becoming more cashless, and many businesses do not accept cash payments, especially in major cities. Most transactions are done via cards or mobile payment apps.
• Tip: Make sure to carry a credit or debit card, or use mobile payment options like Apple Pay or Google Pay, as cash may not be accepted everywhere.

• Lack of Street Lights in Remote Areas
• In rural or wilderness areas, street lights may be sparse, especially during winter when the sun doesn’t rise above the horizon for months.
• Tip: Be cautious when walking or driving at night in remote areas. Carry a flashlight and ensure your vehicle lights are working properly.

Season Weather in Finland

• Winter (December – February)
• Average temperatures: -14°C (7°F) to -6°C (21°F), but it can drop much lower in the north.
• Snow is common across the country, especially in Lapland. Days are short, with the sun barely rising above the horizon in the northern parts (polar night).
• Tip: Pack warm clothing, including thermal layers, winter boots, gloves, and hats. Be prepared for icy conditions and snow.

• Spring (March – May)
• Average temperatures: -5°C (23°F) to 10°C (50°F), warming up towards May.
• Snow begins to melt, but it can still be cold in early spring. By late May, the days get longer, and flowers start blooming.

• Summer (June – August)
• Average temperatures: 15°C (59°F) to 25°C (77°F), with occasional heatwaves pushing temperatures over 30°C (86°F).
• This is the best time to visit Finland, with long daylight hours, especially in the north where the sun doesn’t set (midnight sun). The weather is generally warm and pleasant.
• Tip: Light clothing for daytime, but a jacket for cooler evenings. Don’t forget sunscreen due to the extended daylight hours.

• Autumn (September – November)
• Average temperatures: 5°C (41°F) to 15°C (59°F), cooling off rapidly as November approaches.
• Autumn brings colorful foliage, but the weather can be rainy and unpredictable. By November, temperatures drop and snow may start in northern Finland.
• Tip: Bring a warm jacket and waterproof clothing, as the weather can vary significantly from cool and sunny to rainy and windy.
