11 days in Helsinki Region 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.

Appreciate the collections at Kansallisgalleria and The National Museum of Finland. Katajanokka and Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Change things up with these side-trips from Helsinki: Sipoonkorven Kansallispuisto (in Vantaa), Nuuksio National Park (in Espoo) and Tuusulanjarvi (Lake Tuusula) (in Tuusula). There's much more to do: steep yourself in history at Mannerheim Museum, test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms, learn more about the world around you at Natural History Museum (Luonnontieteellinen Museo), and stroll through Hietaranta Beach.
