Discover Helsinki

Helsinki is Finland's crowning achievement. As major European cities go, it's quite small, but the people who live there have made it into one of the most influential and interesting cities in the northern hemisphere. The city sits on the southern coast of Finland, overlooking the Gulf of Finland. Its long history, thriving art and design scenes and friendly citizens make it one of Europe's most satisfying countries to live in and visit.
