From a friend that lives there (I’m going later this year). 1-2 day trips, so filter accordingly:

Aland (autonomous archipelago, bike around islands)
Porvoo (old town an hour outside Helsinki)
Turku (oldest city castle medieval seaside vibes easy to go to archipelago)
Hameenlinna (1.5h outside Helsinki medieval castle/scenic lake vibes)
Tampere (between two lakes, more modern)
Raasepori (castle scenic)
Savonlinna (more remote lake vibezzz)
Eknas archipelago NP via tammisaari (kayaking hiking archipelago vibes)
Lohja (inland swimming kayaking hiking vibes)
Lapland (remote northern part might be better in winter?)

Can also day trip to Talinn, take the cruise to Stockholm, etc.

Finland is big - not a ton of day trips - def not Lapland or Stockholm

Tallinn Estonia - 2 hour ferry

I feel like I’ve looked everywhere (Steelcase, Herman Miller, humanscale, Haworth, xchair, etc).
