about Helsinki
Helsinki
Located on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, the capital city of the country is its main business, educational, research, cultural and governmental hub. The largest Finnish city welcomes both pleasure-seekers and businessmen, offering a wide range of amenities and attractions.
The Helsinki-Vantaa Airport is just 40 minutes from the city center. As the city features many kilometers of coastline, it isn't surprising that it's often called the Daughter of the Baltic. The tourist landmarks you should definitely see in Helsinki include the Suomenlinna Naval Fortress and Seurasaari Island. Both of these offer a different kind of atmosphere, as the first is a renowned UNESCO Heritage Site, while the latter attracts with its green parks and open-air museum.
Spend the sunny days at Hietaniemi Beach, or if you visit in the winter, enjoy the lighting in the city. Locals love walks on the frozen sea.
You can take advantage of the cruise ferry and the catamaran links to some foreign destinations. Families with children can have a lot of fun at the Linnanmaki Amusement Park, where many hours of entertainment are guaranteed.
