Helsinki
The capital of Finland, Helsinki is a clean, organised and stylish city, where the country comes into town in the form of expansive green spaces filled with small wildlife and abundant foliage during the short summer. For much of the year, though, the city is snow-covered, invigoratingly cold and crisp on the outside, but verymore warm inside the bars and cosy hostelries. Despite the cold , on holiday in Helsinki take advantage of the outdoors, with skating, ice-fishing, cycling and walking being popular pastimes.
