Helsinki Capital of Finland
Helsinki, Finland’s capital, is one of Europe’s smallest capital cities with a population of just over half a million people. Visitors love this lively but compact city benefiting from the easy access to all major sights and the ease in which they can become part of the local community, if only for a few days.
The best way to explore is on foot or by hopping on the excellent tram network linking all the major sights such as the 19th Century Senate Square and Parliament House.
Helsinki truly comes to life during the long summer days with pretty parks, outdoor cafes, colourful waterfront markets and boat trips out to the surrounding islands.
