With its fine waterfront, the capital of Finland is a refreshing choice for a city break. There is a fusion of Neo-classical and contemporary architecture and the city has a great cultural appeal. Open-air folk dancing and concerts in the parks are held during the summer. The nightlife is diverse and vibrant; from live jazz to opera. Take time to try an exhilarating sauna, an integral part of Finnish life.
From jazz to opera the nightlife in Helsinki is diverse. By day, don't miss Suomenlinna Fortress World Heritage site situated on islands housing impressive museums and galleries. Visit the unique Church in the Rock - Temppeliaukio Church. For a relaxed view of the city, take the 3T tram (passing Senate Square, Botanical Gardens, the National Museum, Gallery Ateneum, Museum of Contemporary Art and the National Opera). Explore outdoor craft markets - Market Square has an open-air market every Mon-Sat (0700-1400) and an evening market in summer. The sauna is an institution revered and respected by every Finn and the traditions are treated with respect. For public saunas try the wood-heated Kotiharjun sauna or Cafe Tin Tin (where you can sauna and dine all in one place).
