Helsinki is the capital of Finland, surrounded by small islands, bays, nature’s beauty, and neo classical city’s vision and noises. Charming Helsinki will leave you with the best of impressions and memories.

How to travel?

Cheap flights to Helsinki are available from Vilnius and Kaunas, and will only take one hour for you to arrive to your holiday destination point. You may choose between a one-day holiday trip or spending a whole weekend or longer here. Helsinki has a very-well-developed public transport system: buses, subway, trolleybuses, and metro. All these are available for a quick trip to any desired city location.

What to taste?

National Finnish dishes are usually prepared from fish. After arriving to Helsinki, make sure to try some traditional cuisine dishes: cod stewed in milk, called maitokalekeito, or fish pie, kalakukko. For dessert, try some pulla, which is pastries with cardamom, or some pudding.

What to see?

Helsinki is famous for its unusual architecture based buildings, such as the unique Lutheran church in a cave (Temppeliaukio), which can be observed for free, as well as the “Chapel of Silence”, located in the noisiest part of the city. Also worth your interest are one of the popular tourist objects, the neo classical evangelic Lutheran Helsinki cathedral, and the biggest in Western Europe orthodox cathedral of Uspenski. Interesting to see is the Suomenlinna sea fortress, which was built in the 18th century by Swedes and is currently on the UNESCO cultural heritage list.

Make sure to pay a visit to the Helsinki zoo (Korkeasaari), which takes up a huge area of 22 ha and is actually located on an island. Helsinki is full of museums; you can find one dedicated to banks, journalism, design, cultures, as well visit the museums of Helsinki, Architecture, Nature History, and others, most of whom are free. The open-air museum of Seurasaari is located on an island and offers to view architectural art from the 17th century right up to the 20th one.
