Other dates worth booking
Finland's Midsummer (Juhannus) is fixed to a Friday-Saturday weekend rather than a specific calendar date, deliberately structured to always create a long weekend - most of the country effectively shuts down as people head to lakeside summer cottages. Independence Day (December 6) marks 1917 independence from Russia and is marked with a solemn presidential reception rather than a festive public celebration.
