What to see in Helsinki

Helsinki is the northern capital, where the sea and the archipelago coexist with the restrained beauty of Northern Art Nouveau and traces of the Russian Empire. The city combines the young energy of Scandinavian design and centuries-old history: the University was transferred here in 1828, and the embankments, squares and cozy streets reflect a different architectural era. The atmosphere of Helsinki is both calm and lively, it is easy to feel the rhythm of city walks and the proximity of nature.

Manufactures and facilities

Helsinki’s man-made sights are diverse and symbolic: walking alleys and monuments in Esplanade Park and Esplanade Street, Senate Square with monumental buildings, Lutheran Cathedral and Assumption Cathedral, monuments to Mannerheim, Alexander II and Sibelius. Among the outstanding buildings are the Presidential Palace, the Palace of Congress “Finland”, the Olympic Stadium with a tower, the famous Temppeliaukio Church, the Khakasalmi Manor, the Botanical Garden and the popular Linnanmäki amusement park. It is not without lively city markets and sculptures that make walks in the center especially memorable.

Natural attractions and places

Natural pearls are scattered around the city and surroundings: the forested island of Seurasaari with ethnographic corners, the picturesque Teölönlahti Bay and Hietanimi Beach for summer days by the sea. In the vicinity are the national parks of Torronsuo and Liesjärvi, quiet lakes like Tuusula, the botanical garden of the University of Helsinki with greenhouses and the tropical garden "Gardenia". The archipelago and the proximity of the sea give Helsinki a special ease and the opportunity to combine urban routes with natural walks.
