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 Mannerheim Museum. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Seurasaari Island and Open-Air Museum and Nuuksio National Park. Venture out of the city with trips to Pernio (Teijo National Park & Ruukin kehräämö ja puoti Oy), Hanko (Bellevue Beach & Tulliniemi Nature Path) and Jarvenpaan Taidemuseo (in Jarvenpaa). 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: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Temppeliaukio Church, kick back and relax at Beach Mansikkalahti, look for all kinds of wild species at Arboretum Mustila, and stroll through Hiidenvuori.
