6 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 out of the city life by going to Nuuksio National Park and Stand-Up Paddleboarding. Visit Seurasaari Island and Open-Air Museum and Turku Cathedral for their historical value. Get out of town with these interesting Helsinki side-trips: Porvoo (Brunberg Candy Factory Shop, Cathedral of Porvoo, &more), Turku (Gallery A & Luostarinmaen Kasityolaismuseo) and Teijo National Park (in Pernio). There's still lots to do: get engrossed in the history at The National Museum of Finland, shop like a local with Hakaniemi Market, wander the streets of Katajanokka, and examine the collection at Finnish Aviation Museum.
