This is FINLAND Magazine 2026-27

This is FINLAND Magazine opens inspiring perspectives on Finnish society, culture and nature. Writer Satu Rämö talks about Nordic noir, visual artist Emma Sarpaniemi explores identity and femininity in her playful self-images, and Konsta Punkka (@kpunkka in Instagram) shares his thoughts on how he became the nature photographer he is today.

We also look at swimming as a hobby and how important the skill is in Finland, filled with bodies of water. Finnish ice and snow expertise, designing happiness, city of Oulu celebrating as the European Capital of Culture 2026, Finnish oats and start-up scene wrap up this year’s issue.
