Helsinki
— 7 nights

Daughter of the Baltic
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.You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Mannerheim Museum and Aurinkolahti Beach. Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Kansallisgalleria and Motorcycle Museum of Finland. Change things up with these side-trips from Helsinki: Apulandia (in Lahti), Porvoo (Cathedral of Porvoo & Porvoo Old Town) and Kotka (St. Nicholas Orthodox Church, Beach Mansikkalahti, &more). There's much more to do: take in the spiritual surroundings of Johannes Church, see the interesting displays at Vantaa Art Museum, learn more about the world around you at Natural History Museum (Luonnontieteellinen Museo), and don't miss a visit to Hakaniemi Market.
