Helsinki highlights
Sights. Stories. Soul.
Climb the steps of the iconic Helsinki Cathedral and take in the cityscape where neoclassical beauty meets Baltic breeze. Hop on a ferry from Market Square and set course for the 300-island archipelago—yes, magical is the word.
Marvel at Europe’s largest collection of Art Nouveau architecture, or pop into Oodi, a library unlike any other—more like the city’s living room. Feel the spirit of Helsinki through the lives of Sibelius, Aalto, and Tove Jansson. Then taste it, swim in it, and sauna your way into local life.
