44 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.

Step off the beaten path and head to Mannerheim Museum and Maritime Centre Vellamo. Escape the urban bustle at Laurinmaki nature and culture area, Crofter's Museum and Teijo National Park. Change things up with these side-trips from Helsinki: Porvoo (Cathedral of Porvoo, Castle Hill, & more), Hanko (Bellevue Beach & Tulliniemi Nature Path) and Inkoon kirkko (in Inkoo). Spend the 23rd (Sun) exploring nature at Nuuksio National Park. Spend the 4th (Thu) wandering through the wild on a nature and wildlife tour. And it doesn't end there: explore the world behind art at Kansallisgalleria, take a stroll through Katajanokka, get engrossed in the history at The National Museum of Finland, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Johannes Church.
