8 days in Helsinki Region 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 Seurasaari Island and Open-Air Museum and Stand-Up Paddleboarding. Take a break from the city and head to Nuuksio National Park and Sipoonkorven Kansallispuisto. Get out of town with these interesting Helsinki side-trips: Teijo National Park (in Pernio), Arboretum Mustila (in Elimaki) and Niivermaki Nature Conservation Area (in Kouvola). Pack the 17th (Wed) with family-friendly diversions at Linnanmaki Amusement Park. And it doesn't end there: pause for some serene contemplation at Temppeliaukio Church, cool off at The Swimming Stadium, test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms, and step into the grandiose world of Sea Fortress Suomenlinna.
