You’ll find something for everyone here, whether you want to spend your time shopping, museum-hopping, and sampling all the best coffee shops in Helsinki (there are a lot!). Its seaside position means that there are always boats gliding past, the markets are bustling, and residents love to be out and about. On the contrary, it’s a city that’s buzzing with life. Luckily, when we compare Helsinki to a museum, we don’t mean that it’s fusty and impersonal.
Walking around Helsinki is almost like being in a museum of design and architecture, with something to see around every corner, whether it’s the modernist house of Alvar Aalto or the futuristic Helsinki Central Library Oodi. There’s a great mish-mash of grand neoclassical architecture from its time in the Russian empire, art nouveau constructs from the era after its independence, and the bold, contemporary design that’s become synonymous with modern Finland. Scattered along the Baltic coast, its streets interwoven with the many inlets of the intricate shoreline, Helsinki is an extremely attractive city. It’s gloriously eclectic, easily navigable, and both super-cool and welcoming at the same time. You will have to be living under a rock to not know that Helsinki is having a serious moment – and for good reason. Book a weekend trip here, and you’ll end up wishing it was a week book a week, and you’ll wish it was two! Helsinki is a city break with a difference – and one you know that not everyone has been on! It’s quirky, original, and completely immersive.
