Helsinki, Finland's capitol, offers a 100 Kilometer shoreline on the Baltic Sea and approximately 300 islands off the coast. The compact, vibrant city is both highly cultural and incredibly relaxing, with great possibilities for many outdoor activities. It is a compact city easily explored on foot and features large park areas, forests, lakes, and the coastline with numerous islands. It is great city to be explored outdoors.

The fortress of Suomenlinna is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Finland’s most popular sights. I was build to counter the growing threat from Russia in the 1700's. The beautiful island is only a 15-minute ferry ride away from Helsinki Market Square. A day trip away is Porvoo, is the second oldest city in Finland. Its long history can still be felt on the charming cobblestone streets, past the iconic red wooden shore houses. Porvoo is full of small shops, lovely museums, galleries and cafés.

The Olympic games in 1952 created an international reputation for Helsinki as an efficient and friendly host city. Helsinki is recognized as a city in which many differing views can interact in a constructive atmosphere. Helsinki was one of nine European Cities of Culture in 2000. Helsinki was chosen as World Design Capital for the year 2012.

The reason to visit Helsinki are many. A trip to Helsinki offers an alternative to a traditional action packed European vacation. Here you can kick back and relax by getting off the beaten path, do something your friends haven't done, play in the snow, swim in an icy pool, buy a Finnish design classic, rent a cottage by a lake, take a walk in an old wooden town (Porvoo, Rauma), meet a herd of reindeer while skiing in Laplandor or even meet Santa Claus.

New Things To Do

  • Aquariums

    Oceans cover 71% of the Earth’s surface, and we’ve only explored about 5% of it. That leaves so much of the Earth that we know nothing about. Not everyone can dive right into the water to look at the ocean life, so why not do the next best thing? Aquariums give us a window into a whole other world. Most locations around the world have aquariums; some larger than others.

  • Snowmobiling

    Snowmobiling began to take off in the 1950's as lightweight design emerged. At first, snowmobiling was a topic of dispute, because snowmobilers like to take advantage of the flexibility of their machines to travel off-road, thereby disrupting otherwise pristine environments. Others objected to snowmobilers because their machines were noisy and polluted the environment.
