6 days in Helsinki Region 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 discover tucked-away gems like Seurasaari Island and Open-Air Museum and Kansallisgalleria. Step out of the city life by going to Nuuksio National Park and Sipoonkorven Kansallispuisto. Get out of town with these interesting Helsinki side-trips: Porvoo (Cathedral of Porvoo & Porvoo Old Town). There's still lots to do: take in the spiritual surroundings of Temppeliaukion Church, browse the exhibits of Sea Fortress Suomenlinna, pause for some serene contemplation at Helsinki Cathedral, and test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms.
