Oh, the (Helsinki) places you’ll go!
Sauna and a dip in the icy sea? A paddle to one of the lush green islands to admire the sunset at 2am?
A walk through the greatest display of Art Nouveau buildings in Europe? A ferry from the Market Square to explore the magical archipelago of 300+ islands?
A day in the footsteps of world famous artists like composer Jean Sibelius, architect Alvar Aalto, or Tove Jansson, the creator of the Moomins?
Immerse yourself into Helsinki with all your senses. Taste it, feel it, live it.
Helsinki is here for you.
When winter, try this:
Walk on the ice. Or skate!
Take a dip in the icy waters.
When with kids, try this:
Adventure to the islands.
Pick blueberries. Climb a tree.
When hungry, try this:
Helsinki-made liquorice (!) ice-cream.
Salmon soup by the sea.
Whenever and always:
Have a sauna + dip in the sea.
Repeat!
Dive in! To the city made of sea
Oh yes, no less that 300+ islands. No less that 130 kilometers of coastal routes – all waiting for you. Hop on a ferry, boat, bicycle or bridge (even ice!), and explore the magical beauty of natural beaches, pine trees, saunas and silence, stop by the little piers, lively terraces and marines all in the midst of urban nature.
