Helsinki

Trip Planning & Itineraries

Helsinki is a sea town par excellence and an exciting, dynamic place. Half the city seems to be water, and the tortured geography of the coastline includes any number of bays, inlets and a speckling of islands. The harbor is the heart of the city, and watching the giant ferries glide into port is a defining memory and essential Helsinki experience.

Helsinki retains a small-town feel: there are no high-rise buildings and the market square is still surrounded by 19th-century architecture. Its green parks and waterways, fresh sea winds with seagulls flying over the busy market square, and many open-air cafes make it a perfect summer destination.
