About Helsinki

Helsinki is the capital and largest city of Finland, home to around 694,000 people on the shore of the Gulf of Finland. The city blends Nordic architecture with a varied cultural scene, from the historic Alexander Theatre to the experimental stage of Teatteri Takomo. Green retreats such as Ensi linjan puistikko and the Itäniitynniemi peninsula offer quiet escapes within the urban fabric, while Tapanila Church and the Kirkkorinne neighbourhood reflect the city's local character. Helsinki rewards visitors across all seasons.
