Rules in force · 7Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • Nordic countries ↗Decide light or dark before anything else: summer trips (June–August) and aurora trips (September–March in the Arctic) need different countries, clothes and bases.
  • Nordic countries ↗Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroes sell stronger alcohol only in state shops with short hours; buy before evening and before Sundays and holidays.
  • Finland ↗Finland is in the EU and the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors at the first Schengen border.
  • Finland ↗The land border with Russia is closed to travellers; do not plan a route across it.
  • Finland ↗Everyman's rights let you walk, camp for a night and pick berries on most land, but not near homes, and not to make fires without permission.

Siuntio is a rural Uusimaa municipality of about 6,000 people, spread across a handful of villages roughly 50 km west of Helsinki. It sits on the historic King's Road and is served by the HSL commuter rail (zone D). Sights are small and scattered: a medieval stone church with a separate wooden bell tower, two manor houses, a writer's museum and a farm museum. There is one spa hotel and a handful of cafés. This is a half-day or overnight countryside stop, not a destination in itself.

Arrive & move

Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in

Getting around

Villages are walkable internally but 3–8 km apart, so a car is the practical way to link them. A few weekday buses run along the main roads; expect long waits. Trains (HSL lines Y, X, L and H) stop at Siuntio station in zone D. Taxis are limited: book ahead.

Watch out

Safety

Very safe. The real risks are dark rural roads with no pavement, deer at dusk, winter ice and thin services on Sundays: fill the tank and buy food in the station village.
  • Speed cameras on highway 51; headlights always on.
  • Keep clear of the Upiniemi military area if arriving by boat.
  • Long-distance trains no longer stop at Siuntio: change at Kirkkonummi or Leppävaara.
  • Most museums and manor interiors are seasonal or by arrangement: check before travelling.
