Helsinki When to Go

Helsinki always beams with pretty architecture and friendly locals, but during the high-season summer months it’s most alive. Average temps linger in the high 60s or low 70s. When the weather’s nice, take a short ferry ride and spend the day at Suomenlinna, a sea fortress spanning six islands. The UNESCO World Heritage site hosts a mix of locals and tourists for picnics, guided tours, concerts, and plenty of sightseeing.

Maybe it’s all those dark days, or the cold temperatures (December through February are considered warm if they reach the 30s), or the sparse population, but there’s something about the Finnish that makes them just a little offbeat—termed “Finnwacky” by some. Catch a glimpse of this during the spring shoulder season, when Vappu takes place. On April 30, students place a white cap on the statue of Havis Amanda in Market Square, dress up in overalls of their school colors, imbibe more than they should, and party in the streets. The next day, champagne picnics with white linens and candelabras class things up a bit, then it’s on to more partying.

You’ll want to bring that buoyant spirit with you into the winter if you choose to visit during the low season. As the northernmost metropolitan area in the world (population: one million), Helsinki does without much light or heat from the sun, so every night is extra long. This onetime host of the Summer Olympics offers plenty in the way of snowy sports, with cross-country skiing, ice hockey, and ice-skating being a few favorites. Learn about some of the country’s other pastimes at the National Museum of Finland, a chronicle of the nation from the Stone Age to today.

How to book the cheapest flight to Helsinki?
With some of the most exciting flight deals around, you’ll always bag a bargain with Orbitz. The following hints and tips will help you pick up cheap flights to Helsinki — and leave you with more cash to splash:

  • Consider nearby airports to save extra cash. Enter your preferred departure and arrival points in the form fields, then choose the ‘Nearby airports’ function below. It will show you any available options.
  • If your plans aren’t written in stone, click on the ‘Show flexible dates’ link to see the flight deals for a selection of departure dates. Go with any suitable cheaper fare you find.
  • To refine your results, hit ‘Show options.’ You can search based on seating class, airlines, and nonstop and refundable flights. You can also choose your preferred flight times under ‘Sort & Filter’ to the left.
  • The early bird catches the most rewarding savings, so book your tickets the moment you know your travel dates. The most affordable fares sell out quickly and prices generally rise as the departure date gets closer.
  • Think about bundling your flights, hotels and car rentals into a package deal with Orbitz — the more you book, the more you save.
  • Flying during peak season can mean expensive airfares. Try to vacation outside of popular periods, such as Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Easter.

How long is a flight to Helsinki?
Flight lengths can vary for many reasons, including the location you set off from. If you’re unsure whether you’ll have enough time for a quick snooze on your way to Helsinki, take a look at our list of top domestic routes and flight times:

What is the best time to book a flight to Helsinki?

What day of the week is the cheapest to book a flight to Helsinki?
In general, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays are the cheapest days to book a flight to Helsinki. If you’re looking for unbeatable airfares, search across those days and you could find a terrific flight deal.
What is the cheapest day of the week to fly to Helsinki?
Look into flying early in the week to get cheap flights to Helsinki. Orbitz data from 2020 suggests Monday is generally the cheapest day to take off, followed by Tuesday. Saturday was found to have the highest ticket prices. This is probably because most passengers choose to start their vacation after a long working week.
What is the cheapest month to fly to Helsinki?
We won’t keep you in suspense — based on Orbitz data, August is generally the most affordable month to fly. Perfect for those who need a weekend getaway or simply escape from it all before the weather turns.

What do I need for the flight to Helsinki?
The trick to having a worry-free flight is to come prepared. Here are a couple of tips to take note of before you take off:

  • Nothing is more important than having your travel documents. Which to bring and how many depend on whether you’re traveling international or domestic. Be sure to double check with your airline. In both cases, you’ll need to present some sort of government-issued ID.
  • Pack some extra entertainment for your long trip to Helsinki. When you’re done watching that series on your phone, give your eyes a much-needed break from all that screen time and listen to an audio book.
  • Temperatures in the cabin can change rapidly, so it’s wise to bring an extra layer. Also consider wearing compression socks. They can help prevent swelling and blood clots.

How many direct flights are there to Helsinki?
You can hop aboard one of 457 flights that travel directly to Helsinki each month. Finnair, Norwegian Air International and SAS are a few of the airlines that will get you there in one stretch. Ryanair, Lufthansa and KLM also fly to Helsinki nonstop.
How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to Helsinki?
There are ways of booking business or first-class fares to Helsinki that won’t burn a hole through your wallet. Grab a seat at the front of the plane for less with these practical tips:

  • Flexibility is everything. By being open to a few travel dates, you’ll have better odds of landing a deal on your airfares.
  • Low-cost airlines offer business-class seating at a fraction of the usual cost. Skip the full-service carriers and check out these cheaper options.
  • Bid for an upgrade in online auctions or upgrade with your frequent flyer points.

How to get into Helsinki from the airport?
A Vantaa Airport (HEL) car rental is one of the quickest and easiest ways to get to central Helsinki from Vantaa Airport (HEL). Book a ride with on-site outlet Budget and get on the road a little while after stepping off the plane. The city center is 10 miles south of HEL. Prefer to settle into your new environment before you slide behind the wheel? Take a taxi or public transportation into Helsinki and rent a vehicle a day or two later from downtown with one of our Helsinki car rentals instead.
What is the best time to go to Helsinki?
There’s no right or wrong time to head to Helsinki, but May, August and September are the liveliest months. Like most places in the Northern Hemisphere, the summer kicks off June 20. If you’d prefer to hang out in a light shirt than a big winter jacket, this time of year would suit you perfectly. Expect average daytime highs of 65 ºF and nightly lows around 55 ºF.
Travel tips for Helsinki
