Guide to Helsinki

map
Finland's capital and largest city, Helsinki has a total population of 596,000 people. It lies on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, and spreads across the bays, peninsulas and islands which dapple its waters. It's well known for being the world's most northern urban area, as the major business hub of Finland as well as the country's political and historic centre. Don't miss the churches, seaside areas and museums of Helsinki, including the beautiful Seurasaari Open Air Museum with charming traditional buildings and guides in traditional clothing!
