4 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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Arboretum Mustila and Linden Esplanade. Get some cultural insight at Sea Fortress Suomenlinna and Ullanlinna. Explore Helsinki's surroundings by going to Castle Hill (in Porvoo), Bellevue Beach (in Hanko) and Fagervik Museum (in Inkoo). There's still lots to do: don't miss a visit to Hakaniemi Market, wander the streets of Katajanokka, explore the world behind art at Kansallisgalleria, and take an in-depth tour of Seurasaari Island and Open-Air Museum.
