Helsinki

Finland, Uusimaa region

Night lifeFoodCultureBeachesActive3 nightsFri. Aug 01 - Mon. Aug 04

Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is a love story between the city and the sea. The city lies on the shores of the Gulf of Finland and the blue arms of the Baltic Sea and it is surrounded by hundreds of islands and islets. The city center is surprisingly beautiful with an urban charm that combines neoclassical buildings, many cobblestone and ancient alleys - evidence of influence from the Russian East and modern Scandinavian architectural style. Helsinki holds a wide range of interesting sites and fascinating attractions.
It is ranked as one of the most livable cities in the world.
Secret: There are different areas of the city that actually have heated sidewalks (some of which have heating elements to keep them free of ice and snow). 

Walking, cycling, jogging, supping – all these activities bring this area to life and Lake Tolunalatti and the landscape give you an authentic taste and feel of Finland.
