15 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.

Get some cultural insight at Sea Fortress Suomenlinna and Seurasaari Island and Open-Air Museum. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Hakaniemi Market and Nuuksio National Park. Venture out of the city with trips to Jarvenpaan Taidemuseo (in Jarvenpaa), Pernio (Teijo National Park & Ruukin kehräämö ja puoti Oy) and Hanko (Bellevue Beach & Tulliniemi Nature Path). Spend the 6th (Thu) exploring nature at Ekenas Archipelago National Park. Spend the 14th (Fri) exploring nature at Valkmusa National Park. There's still lots to do: stop by Katajanokka, take in the spiritual surroundings of Uspenskin Cathedral (Uspenskin Katedraali), enjoy the sand and surf at Beach Mansikkalahti, and identify plant and animal life at Arboretum Mustila.
