Visitors can explore the city's many museums, galleries, and parks, as well as enjoy traditional Finnish saunas and delicious Nordic cuisine.
When to visit
The best time to visit Helsinki is during the summer months of June to August when the weather is mild and the days are long. However, if you prefer a winter wonderland experience, visit during December to February when the city is covered in snow and you can enjoy winter sports.
