Helsinki

Helsinki – Design your own happiness. Helsinki, Finland’s capital, charms visitors with striking architecture, compact city life, shopping, and unique urban sauna experiences. The city center offers an easy way to explore Helsinki’s history as a meeting point of East and West while enjoying local life. Senate Square, designed by Carl Ludvig Engel, features Helsinki Cathedral, the Government Palace, and the University of Helsinki. Locals gather at Esplanade Park, the city’s green heart, and Market Square by the sea is perfect for coffee and a cinnamon bun. A short ferry ride takes you to Suomenlinna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and historic sea fortress. Modern Helsinki is represented by the Oodi Central Library and the nearby cultural hub opposite Parliament House. Finnish sauna culture can be experienced at Löyly or Allas Sea Pool. Helsinki has been named the #1 sustainable city destination in the world by the GDS Index for two years running (2024 and 2025)
