11 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.

You'll explore and learn at Sea Fortress Suomenlinna and Helsinki University Museum (Helsingin Yliopiston Museo). Step out of the city life by going to Nuuksio National Park and Arboretum Mustila. Get out of town with these interesting Helsinki side-trips: Teijo National Park (in Pernio), Fagervik Museum (in Inkoo) and Bellevue Beach (in Hanko). Spend the 29th (Sat) exploring nature at Sipoonkorven Kansallispuisto. There's still lots to do: admire the landmark architecture of Temppeliaukio Church, take in the spiritual surroundings of Uspenskin Cathedral (Uspenskin Katedraali), stop by Katajanokka, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Helsinki Cathedral.
