Finnish Midsummer holiday

In late June, Finland celebrates Juhannus (Midsummer). Saturday, 25 June, is a holiday. Many Finns leave the cities for Midsummer and spend time in the countryside. While it will be very quiet in Helsinki already by Friday, those sectors that serve tourists are still operational (e.g. airport buses, many restaurants).
