Explore Helsinki

Welcome to the capital in the south of the country, a city renowned for the beauty of its natural landscapes, its art of living and its architecture. You'll love strolling along its coastline to Kauppatori market square, right in the heart of the capital. The air is filled with the scent of fresh dill and wild berries, and you can admire the fishermen's fresh catch of the day. We can't miss the Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral, with its Byzantine-Slavic style, which leaves us speechless both for its architecture and for the view it offers from its esplanade. Then there's the Lutheran church of Temppeliaukio, built right into the rock! The fortress of Suomenlinna, built on a group of islands in Helsinki Bay, is quite simply exceptional. Save time for shopping, in one of Europe's design capitals, from small old-fashioned stalls to trendy boutiques. And don't forget the many coffee and pastry breaks that are an institution in Finland.
