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 Nuuksio National Park and Hakaniemi Market. Step out of the city life by going to Valkmusa National Park and King's Road. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Helsinki: Bellevue Beach (in Hanko), Teijo National Park (in Pernio) and Ekenas Archipelago National Park (in Raseborg). There's lots more to do: admire the masterpieces at Kansallisgalleria, take in the spiritual surroundings of Temppeliaukio Church, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Helsinki Cathedral, and test your team's savvy at popular escape rooms.
