Highlight of the week from our Instagram! ✨ Follow us @ourfinland. In autumntime, day trips are perfect for wandering old cobble stone streets, taking pictures of narrow pathways framed by trees in vibrant autumn colours and stopping for a cup of hot chocolate to warm up. Pictured here is Porvoo, one beloved day-trip destination located just outside Helsinki. Photo by @antsvahter #VisitFinland #OurFinland #ruskavahti

Thursday trivia for you: in Finnish, we have very unique names for our months. The beginning of the word signals a particular event in the agrarian society Finland once was or otherwise describes the season and its weather. For example, February is helmikuu, where 'helmi', pearl, descibes the pearly texture of snow and ice and July, heinäkuu, is the month of hay-making ('heinä' = hay). Each name ends with 'kuu', translating as month or moon. Did you know this? 🤓
