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 Helsinki Zoo and Hakaniemi Market. Step out of Helsinki with an excursion to Nuuksio National Park (Nuuksion Kansallispuisto) in Southern Finland--about 50 minutes away. Pack the 28th (Fri) with family-friendly diversions at Linnanmaki Amusement Park.
