Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is one of the loveliest cities in Europe, a mini metropolis full of beautiful architecture, culture and museums.
The city’s rhythm is laid back yet at the same time refreshingly active in terms of both the number and quality of restaurants and nightclubs.
What most tourists don’t know is that you can also experience the Finnish nature just a short bus ride from the capital in wonderful Nuuksio National Park.
Remember also to visit the famous composer Jean Sibelius’ fantastic house on the shores of Tuusulanjärvi Lake.
Porvoo and Haikko Manor
Porvoo, a short bus ride from Helsinki, is famous for its charming Old Town, which dates back to the Middle Ages, and is filled with adorable cafés, restaurants and handicraft boutiques.
If you want to stay in style in Porvoo, Haikko Spa is set in a beautiful old manor.
