We track one city in Finland. Its mid-range shoulder-season day comes to $408, which is 46% above the median across all 68 cities in the index.
Helsinki is the anchor — saunas, archipelago ferries, restrained nordic design. Accommodation is 51% of the mid-range day there, so where you sleep decides most of the budget.
Season coefficients are calibrated per city, not shared. Across Finland the peak-to-low swing runs 103%–103%, widest in Helsinki (103%, short northern summer pattern: low Jan–Mar, Nov at ×0.71, peak Jun–Aug at ×1.44). Daylight, not temperature, sets demand: a ten-week summer absorbs most annual arrivals, and the dark months discount steeply outside Christmas.
