The happiest place on Earth is open to visitors.
In 2025, Finland won the title of "Happiest Country in the World" for the eighth consecutive year in a row. The citizens owe their success to the high quality of living, low-unemployment, vibrant culture and just having a generally good vibe. It's a country of fresh food, fun festivals, relaxing saunas, serene views, and warm people in a cold climate.
Travel north and see the most positive place on Earth.
