10 days in Helsinki Itinerary

Finland's largest and most populated metropolis, the maritime town of Helsinki boasts varied architecture, a lively cafe culture, and plethora of picturesque natural delights.

For shopping fun, head to Market Square Kauppatori or Artisaani. Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Sea Fortress Suomenlinna and Uspenskin Cathedral (Uspenskin Katedraali). You'll find plenty of places to visit near Helsinki: Teijo National Park (in Pernio), Sipoonkorven Kansallispuisto (in Vantaa) and Nuuksio National Park (in Espoo). There's still lots to do: pause for some serene contemplation at Temppeliaukio Church, take a memorable drive along King's Road, take a stroll through Linden Esplanade, and get to know the fascinating history of The Esplanadi Park.
