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 explore the less-touristy side of things at Room Escape Games and Porvoo Old Town. Change things up with a short trip to Teijo National Park in Pernio (about 1h 55 min away). Pack the 24th (Mon) with family-friendly diversions at Linnanmaki Amusement Park. There's much more to do: contemplate the long history of Sea Fortress Suomenlinna, don't miss a visit to Senate Square, explore the world behind art at Kansallisgalleria, and get engrossed in the history at The National Museum of Finland.
