Finland's largest and most populated metropolis, the maritime town of Helsinki boasts varied architecture, a lively cafe culture, and plethora of picturesque natural delights.

Do some cultural sightseeing at Sea Fortress Suomenlinna and Temppeliaukio Church. Get some historical perspective at Helsinki Cathedral and Kamppi Chapel of Silence. Get out of town with these interesting Helsinki side-trips: Porvoo (Cathedral of Porvoo & Söderskärin majakka), Ainola - The Home of Aino and Jean Sibelius (in Jarvenpaa) and Nuuksio National Park (in Espoo).
