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.

Visiting Aurinkolahti Beach and Hietaranta Beach will get you outdoors. Step out of Helsinki with an excursion to Nuuksio National Park in Espoo--about 46 minutes away. There's still lots to do: admire the striking features of Rock Church, tour the pleasant surroundings at Korkeasaari Zoo, wander the streets of Ullanlinna, and explore the world behind art at Kansallisgalleria.
