What these figures are
Overnight trips abroad by Finnish residents aged 15 to 84, published in thousands and only where at least 100,000 trips were made, so smaller destinations are not shown. Cruises and day trips are not included. Busy months for a destination reflect when Finnish residents travel, not the weather there or prices. Statistics Finland publishes four-month periods: May to August stands for summer and January to April for winter (December is not included). Each statistics office counts trips differently, so do not compare these numbers with another country's page.
For other countries' travellers, see summer and winter getaways; for the weather at the destinations, weather and climate.
Key takeaways
- May to August (summer): Estonia first, with 470,000 trips.
- January to April (winter): Spain first, with 250,000 trips.
- What we would skip: comparing these numbers with another country's; each office counts differently.
