Best attractions in Helsinki? |
Travel Info Going in Sept for 5days,what are the best attractions/museums etc as there seems to be loads! Travel Tips -Upon arrival to Helsinki, grab a seat on the daily bus tour. You'll get a two-hour rapid-fire overview of Finnish history and a quick look at the city's top monuments and churches. -Dive into Finnish culture at the Seurasaari Open-Air Folk Museum. Its a collection of 100 historic buildings come from every corner of the country. -Wander through the Esplanade, the city's top two shopping streets with a park sandwiched in the middle. -Helsinki's churches are among the city's highlights. The Russian Orthodox Cathedral hovers above Market Square, eyeing the Lutheran Cathedral as warily as Russian culture eyes Europe's. The Lutheran Cathedral, with its prominent green dome and pristine interior, is neoclassical architecture at its best. Several blocks away, the Rock Church, blasted out of stone and capped by a copper and glass dome, is filled with music and awe-struck visitors. -Savor a cup of coffee at the harborside Caf茅 Kappeli, a 19th-century oasis of coffee, pastry, and relaxation. -Sail overnight from Helsinki, enjoy a day in Stockholm, and return to Helsinki the next evening. This is one of Europe's most scenic boat rides. Two fiercely competitive cruise lines, Viking and Silja, make the trip. Source(s): http://www.ricksteves.com/plan/destinati... Other Travel Tips gorgeous blonde women!!!! erh.. none. it would be way too cold then for you to even want to go see anything Helsinki is beautiful, modern and clean, a great city to visit. It is quite a small city so you can easily get around. I visited there but for the life of me can't remember the names of any places. Try getting a Lonely Planet Book or go to www.visitfinland.com to koivukyl盲 a nice neighborhood to helsinki ;) party there all the time I've never been, but if I were to go (I've done my research :P ), I'd visit: -Tavastia Klubi or Inferno (if you're into metal--one of Finland's great exports) -The harbor with Market Square looks beautiful. I'd definitely walk around there. -Suomenlinna Fortress. It looks like a place that's set perfectly for looking at the changing season. |
