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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Kansallisgalleria and Market Square Kauppatori. Step out of the city life by going to Nuuksio National Park and Teijo National Park. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Helsinki: Bellevue Beach (in Hanko), Ekenas Archipelago National Park (in Raseborg) and Valkmusa National Park (in Siltakyla). There's still lots to do: contemplate the long history of Sea Fortress Suomenlinna, take a memorable drive along King's Road, admire the masterpieces at Sinebrychoff Art Museum, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Temppeliaukio Church.
