Modern and cosmopolitan Helsinki is one of the top European travel destinations. Finland’s capital has a population of 600,000 and extends over bays, coves and isles. One word is most characteristic of this extraordinary city: Design!

Helsinki has been voted as the World Capital of Design for the year 2012.

Helsinki’s art nouveau city centre reflects a creative, youthful and inspiring mood. Once you get there, you can immediately start exploring the city’s history in the most exciting way possible. Just visit some of Helsinki’s museums, walk its streets and meet its people and you’ll have it all. Although it’s not a sunny place -which Scandinavian city is, after all – of what little sun the locals get, they make sure to make the best use, as you’ll find out walking down one of the city’s numerous parks.

Definitely a destination that deserves to be in your bucket list!

Helsinki Guide

Helsinki is a destination that offers many exciting sights and experiences to every visitor.

This is the Capital of Design we’re talking about, so it’s certainly worth visiting the Design Museum, that houses collections of thousands examples of industrial, fashion and graphic design, from local and international designers.

Continue to the Uspenski Cathedral, to see something different. Unlike any other finnish building, this monumental orthodox Cathedral was built in 1809 by the Russians, to celebrate their victory over Sweden, in a Russian byzantine style.

Another church is competing for the most impressive religious site in Helsinki. The Temppelinaukio Church, commonly known as “The Stone Church”, is actually a stone church, topped with an impressive glass dome.

The Temppelinaukio Church is famous for its acoustics, making it a popular concert venue!

Don’t miss out on Helsinki’s exceptional art heritage. Helsinki’s National Gallery is ideal for that matter, housed in the Ateneum Museum and exhibiting beautiful masterpieces of Finnish art from the 18th century.

If you are lucky, your stay in Helsinki might coincide with a concert at Finlandia Hall. Be sure to grab your ticket and attend the concert for a unique experience, as this is the most important concert hall in the whole country!

Finnish is the official language in Helsinki, but most of the locals do speak excellent English.
