9 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 Labyrinth Games Room Escape and The National Library of Finland. Venture out of the city with trips to Porvoo (Porvoo Old Town, Cathedral of Porvoo, &more) and Vantaa (Heureka & Sipoonkorven Kansallispuisto). There's lots more to do: explore the world behind art at Sinebrychoff Art Museum, contemplate the long history of Mannerheim Museum, learn more about the world around you at Natural History Museum (Luonnontieteellinen Museo), and take an in-depth tour of The National Museum of Finland.
