What do I need to prepare for Finland?

To see the aurora in Finland, you need to enter the Arctic Circle. The temperature here may reach MINUS 40 degrees in winter, with wind and snow. Shooting aurora in Finland, windproof and warm hats, non-slip and warm boots and windproof and waterproof coats are all essential. Jackets and ski suits are also recommended, which are lighter, windproof, waterproof and warm, and suitable for all kinds of outdoor sports. If you want to take beautiful photos in Finland, which is cold all the year round, you can choose a warm coat with bright colors, or lovely warm gloves and hats. At the same time, you need to prepare cash, credit cards, mobile WIFI, mobile power, adapter, camera tripod and so on.

When winter clothes go to Finland, "how cold it is" and "how thick you need to wear" are the first questions. Pay attention to the weather forecast of the destination in advance. The temperature in the Arctic Circle in Finland may reach MINUS 40 degrees in winter, which is windy and snowy. Thick and medium-long down jackets must be prepared. Warm clothes that can be prepared also include velvet warm pants and windproof warm pants. Sweaters or other clothes can be selected under the down jacket according to the individual's body feeling. It is best to choose waterproof material for down jackets, because there is much snow in polar circles. If the coat is not waterproof, it will be more troublesome after it snows. If you take part in outdoor activities in Finland in winter, the regular activity company will provide outdoor warm clothes, shoes, gloves and other equipment to ensure that you will not get frostbite or catch a cold outdoors.

Shoes must be waterproof and non-slip, preferably boots, to ensure that the ankle does not catch cold.

Warm hats (preferably Lei Feng hats that can protect ears), earmuffs, scarves, gloves and other accessories are all necessary, and gloves are best waterproof.

Warm equipment for all parts of the baby can be considered to be carried with you.

Cash and credit cards Finland uses euros locally, so you should change some cash for later use before going out. Prepare more small change. The euro with a face value of more than 100 yuan is a "super big ticket" in the local area, and ordinary shops will not accept it. VISA and MASTER credit cards are popular local credit cards, while UnionPay cards and mobile payment are rarely used in the local area. It's best to change the chip credit card at the bank before departure to ensure the safety of payment.

Mobile WIFI The best way to get a portable network in Finland is to rent mobile WIFI in advance at a price of 40-60 yuan/day. According to different supply companies, the signal effect is different. Read the purchase evaluation carefully before renting to help you choose.

The weather in Finland is cold, and electronic equipment consumes a lot of electricity, so it is necessary to carry a mobile power supply with you. It should be noted that please confirm that the mobile power supply is produced by a regular manufacturer, and mark the capacity on the power supply. The mobile power supply without relevant clear identification will be seized and confiscated by security before boarding the plane.

Traveling abroad, whether the plug is the same or not, will bring a lot of convenience to the journey.

The outdoor temperature in Finland, such as camera tripod, is quite low in winter, generally around -20℃, so it is not recommended to take pictures with mobile phones. You need to bring a good SLR and tripod. In addition to preparing cameras for shooting aurora, it is also recommended to prepare these: wide-angle lens, tripod (hanging heavy objects to avoid falling when the wind is strong), cable (avoiding machine shock, delaying shooting aurora, otherwise delaying shooting can avoid machine shock), flashlight headlights and other light sources (for focusing and lighting), spare batteries (fast power failure at low temperature) and spare memory cards (large shooting space in raw format).
