The best packing lists for Finland

In Finland you plan around the sauna rather than treating it as an extra: cabins, hotels and even ferries have one. Swimwear, flip-flops and a quick-drying towel are not afterthoughts.

Good to know for Finland

Winter is long and in Lapland often lasts into May. Between November and March you need proper winter boots with grip, ice cleats for glazed pavements and something that covers chin and ears.

Finland is the only Nordic country on the euro, and payment is almost entirely by card. The grid runs at 230 V on type C and F plugs, and Finnish tap water ranks among the cleanest anywhere.

Summer visitors misjudge two things: the mosquitoes around the lakes and in Lapland, and how bright late June and July stay when the sun hardly sets. Bring an eye mask and sunglasses.

Lists from other travellers

Public packing lists, best rated first. Ratings and copies by other travellers decide the order.
