Helsinki has an irresistible charm that draws vast numbers of tourists every year. The vibrant city, which is Finland’s southern capital, boasts an exciting architecture scene generally characterized by Neoclassical and National Romantic styles. Although Helsinki is Finland’s largest and most populous urban area, it is actually easy to get around on foot. In fact, you only need a few days to experience its village-like allure. Revel in nature when you plan a day trip to an ancient sea fortress called Suomenlinna. You can keep the kids entertained with a couple of rides or games at Linnanmäki, which has been operating since 1950. This Nordic city is also not short on relaxation opportunities, with properties that boast premium wellness facilities. Planning to visit soon?
