Finland is open for ordinary tourism and recent visitor data point to healthy or growing demand. The main live issues are security and operational: the Russian border remains closed, drone-related airspace disruptions can cause delays, and official advisories describe an elevated terrorism threat. Most leisure travelers can still visit normally, with the usual winter-weather precautions.
