The must-sees, and the must-feels of Helsinki
Climb the steps of the grand white Helsinki Cathedral and feel the breeze from the sea. Take a ferry from the market square and explore the magical archipelago of 300+ islands.
Walk through the greatest display of Art Nouveau buildings in Europe and visit the central library Oodi – the public living room of Helsinkians. Or explore the city in the footsteps of world famous artists like composer Jean Sibelius, architect Alvar Aalto, or Tove Jansson, the creator of the Moomins.
