Is it safe to travel to Finland

In general, Finland is a pretty safe place to visit. Finland has relatively low crime rates, and if you use common sense and remain cautious at all times, you should have no problems.

Be cautious at night, especially on Friday and Saturday, when young Finns flock to pubs and clubs to become intoxicated and, in some cases, to cause problems. Pickpockets aren't widespread, but they do occur from time to time, particularly during the tourist season, which is usually during the summer. An interesting point to note is that pickpockets in this situation are virtually always foreigners.

The majority of Finns are very comfortable carrying their wallets in their pockets or purses. It is usual for parents to leave their sleeping newborns in a baby carriage on the street while going to the store, and it is also popular in the countryside to leave cars and house doors unlocked.

Bikes, on the other hand, are frequently stolen: if you plan on purchasing or renting a bicycle, you must exercise extreme caution. Bicycle thieves are very common, so never leave your bike unsecured for even a minute.
