30 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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Laurinmaki nature and culture area, Crofter's Museum and Kansallisgalleria. Popular historic sites such as Mannerheim Museum and Seurasaari Island and Open-Air Museum are in your itinerary. Get out of town with these interesting Helsinki side-trips: Porvoo (Söderskärin majakka, Cathedral of Porvoo, & more), Nuuksio National Park (in Espoo) and Arboretum Mustila (in Elimaki). Spend the 7th (Sun) exploring nature at Teijo National Park. Pack the 22nd (Mon) with family-friendly diversions at Linnanmaki Amusement Park. There's lots more to do: engage your brain at Heureka, get engrossed in the history at Finnish Aviation Museum, contemplate the long history of The Aalto House, and wander the streets of Katajanokka.
