Are you planning a trip to Finland? What to wear during the winter? I had the same worries many years ago, before my very first trip to Finland. I’m from a warmer country (Hungary), where -5°C is considered very cold. I hardly could imagine how -20°C or -30°C feels like. In the Nordic countries life still goes on despite the freezing temperature. You can’t just curl up on your sofa for the whole winter and stay indoors. You would miss the snow and the northern lights, just to mention a few. I will share my tips on clothing that helped me survived my first (and every) winter in the Nordics.
Check out the best sights in Joensuu and Eastern Finland. National parks, museums, and even the famous rock music festival made it to the list. Nature and history lovers, add it to your bucket list!
