Daughter of the Baltic
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.Visit Sea Fortress Suomenlinna and Seurasaari Island and Open-Air Museum for their historical value. Museum-lovers will get to explore Kansallisgalleria and National Museum of Finland. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Helsinki: Raseborg (Fagervik Church & Raseborg Castle), Kotka (Beach Mansikkalahti & Sapokka Water Garden) and Porvoo Old Town (in Porvoo).

And it doesn't end there: take in the spiritual surroundings of Rock Church, explore the world behind art at Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, stroll through Sibelius Monument, and admire nature's wide array of creatures at Korkeasaari Zoo.
