Helsinki

Occupying a stunning position on the shores of the Baltic Sea, Helsinki is Finland’s capital city and a true northern gem. Boasting an array of fantastic Art Nouveau and Neoclassical architecture, spread across islands, bays and seaside peninsulas, there’s plenty to discover. People watch from the Market Square, visit one of the Ateneum Art Museums, or marvel at the architecture of Senate Square. Why not take a sightseeing cruise around the city’s stunning harbor or visit the UNESCO World Heritage listed Suomenlinna, once the greatest sea fortresses in the Baltic.
