The north of Finland is above the Arctic Circle so the sun doesn't set there for a period in the summer. In the south of Finland, the sun will set but is barely goes below the horizon, meaning that it never gets truly dark.

∙ 10y agoIt's dark all day in any place that sits above the Polar Circle whether it's Finland, Russia or Canada.
It's not, in most parts of Finland south of the Arctic Circle the sun rises above the horizon for a brief moment around noon but even in the north of Finland where the sun never rises, there is a bright twilight around 12pm, so it is not completely dark all day long (like at the true North Pole).

When is the cheapest time to travel to Finland?
Depends on what you're after. Their winters can be pretty fierce, so if you don't like it cold you should stay away that time. Then maybe it's the whole frost-bitten experience that you're after? Summers are nice, particularly in the north where sun doesn't quite set even at midnight. OTOH summers also brings mosquitoes...

When does it snow in Finland?
WinterIn winter, the mean temperature remains below 0°C, but warm airflows can raise the daily high above 0°C at times. Winter usually begins in mid-October in Lapland and during November in the rest of Finland, though not until December in the southwestern archipelago. It thus takes about two months for winter to proceed from Lapland to Åland. The sea and lakes retard the progress of winter. Winter is the longest season, lasting for about 100 days in southwestern Finland and 200 days in Lapland.North of the Arctic Circle, part of the winter is the period known as the polar night, when the sun does not rise above the horizon at all. In the northernmost extremity of Finland, the polar night lasts for 51 days. In southern Finland, the shortest day is about 6 hours long.Permanent snow falls on open ground about two weeks after winter begins. The snow cover is deepest around mid-March, with an average of60 to 90 cm of snow in eastern and northern Finland and 20 to 30 cm in southwestern Finland. The lakes freeze over in late November and early December. The ice is thickest in early April, at about 50 to 65 cm. In severe winters, the Baltic Sea may ice over nearly completely, but in mild winters it remains open except for the far ends of the Gulf of Bothnia and the Gulf of Finland.The coldest day of winter comes well after perihelion, at the end of January everywhere except in the islands and coastal regions, where the slower cooling of the sea delays the coldest period until the beginning of February. The lowest temperatures in winter are from -45°C to -50°C in Lapland and eastern Finland; from -35°C to -45°C elsewhere; and -25°C to -35°C in the islands and coastal regions. The lowest temperature recorded in Helsinki is -34.3°C (1987). The lowest temperature recorded at any weather station in Finland this century is -51.5°C (1999).
