8 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Pyhtaa Church of Saint Henry (in Pyhtaa), Eijas Garden (in Ruotsinpyhtaa) and Porvoo Old Town (in Porvoo).
