Description
The daughter of the Baltic', Helsinki, Finland's main political, financial and cultural centre, is definitely worth a visit!
Its small-town charm can easily be explored on foot by curious visitors. Stroll through its romantic streets and admire the Art Nouveau buildings, churches and museums and learn more about its fascinating history.
Helsinki was founded in 1550 and became the capital of Finland in 1812.
The country's location has played an important role in its history.
Finns endured the occupation of one or the other of its neighbours until it gained independence in 1917. Our guide will provide you with valuable information on Finland's culture, history and daily life.
