Great countey but quite expensive. The food was good, especially a Finnish restaurant in Helsinki called Zetor which had great food. Helsinki is a quiet city with not much to do, but Oulo was great. The people are friendly and it is a very safe country
Posted: May 29, 2025Finland is very safe overall. Cars and trams will stop for you to cross the streets. I've felt safe traveling alone. There are lights in the forest until 10pm (in the winter). For traveling I'd recommend using omnibus, it's cheaper than the trains. The food is not bad, just tasteless. But I'd definitely recommend trying the Fazer chocolate 😋
Posted: May 13, 2025I tend to visit late as I live in the nearby city and the nightlife is better, and I generally feel safe and aren't concerned about being by myself even if it's in the middle of the night and it's less crowded.
Posted: April 24, 2025Experienced: February, 2025Flying out from lamparante airport was cute there is a sandcastle building competition in the summer The transportation is lovely Finland is known for its lakes and Moomin! The locals were fun, super good at English, but comfortably speak Finnish when hanging out/partying
Posted: April 24, 2025we went to helsinki with my friends on a ferry for one day. that was actually really fun! we went to see some free museums, national library, walked in city centre, went on small shopping in “normal” and “stockmann” and had dinner. we felt really safe there, walking alone with girls only. i really want to recommend y’all Leaf buffet. it is located in forum mall on 0 floor. so u basically pay 14€ per one person and u can have any amount of food u want. there was like 20 types of sushi, soup, some meat, drinks, salads, fruits and cake. recommend visiting helsinki!

You can safely use public transport and even walk alone in the evening. In this area people are very friendly. As you get closer to Helsinki (45min by sub) the possibility to get robbed of sexually harassed increases a bit. But this Sarvvik where I live is super safe. I don't even lock my bike
Posted: June 21, 2025The city is generally speaking very safe. The only time I would feel a bit unsafe is at night after the bars close. But even then the probability of anything bad happening is very low. Catcalling is maybe the worst I've witnessed during that time.
