Baltic capital

Welcome to Helsinki

A calm city by the sea - white islands, design districts, saunas, and cafés that stay bright late into the northern summer. This guide covers the harbor, Market Square, and easy day trips from the center.

Harbor and Market Square

Fresh berries, salmon soup, and ferries to Suomenlinna leave from the waterfront every day.

Design District

Walk Punavuori and Kamppi for studios, bookshops, and Finnish design stores.

Island day trip

Suomenlinna sea fortress is a short ferry ride and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
