5 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.

Do your shopping at Market Square Kauppatori and Pien Shop & Bar. Step out of the city life by going to Nuuksio National Park and Laajalahti Nature Reserve. There's still lots to do: admire the landmark architecture of Temppeliaukio Church, visit Katajanokka, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Helsinki Cathedral, and get engrossed in the history at Seurasaari Island and Open-Air Museum.
