eSIM Travel Tips for Finland
Finland is in the EU but UK networks charge daily roaming fees
Finland is an EU member but UK networks charge daily roaming fees there following Brexit. EE, Vodafone UK, O2, and Three UK all charge for Finnish data. A HelloRoam eSIM from $3.20 avoids these daily charges and connects you to Telia, DNA, or Elisa immediately on landing.
Finnish Lapland and Santa's home village
Rovaniemi is the official hometown of Santa Claus and one of the most popular winter destinations for British families. Rovaniemi city and the Santa Claus Village at the Arctic Circle have good 4G. Northern Lapland reindeer farms and wilderness cabins further north can have limited signal. Download offline maps and your activity booking confirmations before heading into the wilderness.
The Finnish sauna and lake district
Finland has more saunas than cars. The Finnish lake district around Saimaa is a popular summer destination for British visitors. Main resort towns like Savonlinna and Lappeenranta have good 4G. Remote lake cabins and smaller islands can have weaker signal. Download offline navigation before renting a cabin in the lakeland.
Currency in Finland
Finland uses the euro (EUR). Current exchange rates are roughly £1 to 1.15-1.20 EUR. Finland is moderately expensive for British visitors, with Helsinki dining comparable to London. Tipping is not expected in Finland. Keep your HelloRoam eSIM active for banking apps and contactless payments.
Northern Lights in Finnish Lapland
Finnish Lapland from November to March is prime Northern Lights territory. Rovaniemi, Saariselkä, and Levi are the main viewing bases for British visitors. Rovaniemi and Levi resort areas have good 4G. Remote wilderness tours beyond resort areas operate in low-signal zones. Download your aurora forecast apps and emergency contacts before night tours.
Mobile networks in Finland: what British travellers need to know
Finland's three main mobile operators are Telia Finland, DNA (now owned by Telenor), and Elisa. HelloRoam connects on all three. Telia, DNA, and Elisa all offer 5G in Helsinki and major cities and 4G LTE across populated areas. Finland has one of the world's highest 5G penetration rates. Coverage extends well into Lapland along main roads and in resort towns, though the wilderness beyond has limited signal.

Best time to visit Finland from the UK
Finland offers two very distinct seasons for British visitors. Winter (November to March) is the Northern Lights and Santa season, Rovaniemi and Lapland are at their most magical with temperatures of minus 15°C to minus 25°C, snow, reindeer, and dog sledding. Summer (June to August) transforms Finland with the midnight sun, warm lake swimming at 20°C to 26°C, and Helsinki's vibrant outdoor culture. Autumn (September to October) brings beautiful foliage. Spring (April to May) is quieter with melting snow and returning light.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
