Things to see
Helsinki is a vibrant city with
stunning architecture, a picturesque
ferry harbour, cosmopolitan cafes,
and world-class museums. Streets and
avenues curve around bays, bridges
arch across to nearby islands, and
Finland ferries reach out to islands
farther offshore. There are 400
parks, as well as numerous waterside
walkways. The result of a
neo-classical building scheme in the
early 1800s can still be seen, the
effort of modernist Finnish
designers including Alvar Aalto.
Away from the capital city you can
meet Father Christmas in the artic
circle. His office is open daily,
but photos can be expensive. The
country's former capital Turku
boasts a magnificent medieval castle
which is worth visiting. |
