Spring in the Finnish archipelago
The sun is warming the archipelago and ice can still be found in smaller bays and straits, making it seem calm on the surface for visitors. However, for locals, spring is usually a busy time.

Experience the stunning beauty of the Archipelago’s spring awakening – Get ready to be amazed!
April and May often offer warm and sunny days and beautiful views from bridges, ferries, and lookout towers. Fields of coltsfoot, wood anemones, and flowers greet visitors along the ring roads. The trees have buds and the sea is newly awakened and crystal clear after the ice melts. Deer and their calves graze on the first green shoots that sprout on the fields and meadows of the larger archipelago islands. Seabirds court their partners and if you move around by kayak or on foot, you have a great chance to experience the archipelago’s natural spectacle up close if you are attentive. It’s like the whole archipelago takes a deep breath before summer arrives.
