Big and small enough - this is Helsinki

Neatly compact in size, there are only half a million inhabitants in the city of Helsinki. This translates into a relaxed, friendly and safe atmosphere that invites visitors to enjoy and to make most of their stay.

Helsinki has it all

Practically everything – the hotels, restaurants, cafés, shops and the sights to see - are within a walking distance in central Helsinki. Taxis are easily available everywhere in the city. The public transportation connections are smooth and punctual. And if you want to get out of the city, no problem: Helsinki is surrounded by one of the world’s most beautiful archipelagos and vast natural parks.

Whether you are a first-time visitor or a long-time lover, Helsinki has plenty to offer. For details about events and attractions, downloadable maps and other resources, see www.visithelsinki.fi and www.bestofhelsinki.fi/en.
