Helsinki, the capital of Finland, seamlessly blends history, modern design, and stunning coastal scenery. The city's architecture reflects its past and future, with neoclassical buildings standing alongside contemporary Nordic designs.

Visitors can explore bustling marketplaces, admire the waterfront views, or stroll through lush parks that provide a peaceful retreat from urban life. The city's green spaces, bustling markets, and seaside promenades make it an inviting destination year-round.

From exploring the historic Suomenlinna Sea Fortress to relaxing in a traditional Finnish sauna, there’s no shortage of ways to experience Helsinki’s unique charm.

Whether enjoying fresh seafood by the harbor or admiring the city's cutting-edge design scene, Helsinki offers a refreshing mix of tradition and innovation.

Things to Do in Helsinki, Finland

Explore the Market Square (Kauppatori)

A scenic panoramic photograph of the Market Square (Kauppatori) in Helsinki, Finland, on a summer day. The image shows the bustling open air market with vendors' tents and people walking around. In the foreground, there are boats docked at the Old Town pier, and in the background, the cityscape of Helsinki, including the Helsinki Cathedral, is visible under a clear sky.

Start your day at Market Square (Kauppatori), a lively open-air market right by the water. This bustling spot offers fresh local produce, seafood, Finnish pastries, and unique handicrafts. It’s the perfect place to get a taste of the local culinary culture. You can also hop on a ferry to nearby attractions from here.

Tip: Try the famous Finnish white sausage (mustamakkara), and wash it down with a cup of strong Finnish coffee from one of the many stalls.

Visit the Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral

A photograph of the Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral in Helsinki, Finland, at dusk. The cathedral's red brick facade and a number of its golden onion domes are illuminated against a dark evening sky. The church stands on a rocky hill overlooking the city, and the photograph captures its prominent, historic architecture.

Next, head to the Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral, one of the largest orthodox cathedrals in Western Europe. With its striking red-brick exterior and green domes, the cathedral offers insight into Finland's Russian influence. From its hilltop location, you will get stunning views of the city and the harbor below.

Tip: As you approach the cathedral, don’t miss the Bridge of Love, where you can see colorful locks adorning the bridge—a popular spot for photos.

Discover the Helsinki Cathedral

An aerial view of Helsinki, Finland, during the autumn season. The photograph captures a clear view of the city's waterfront, with buildings, streets, and trees with colorful fall foliage. The Helsinki Cathedral is prominently visible in the image, along with other landmarks, under a bright, sunny sky.

A short walk from Market Square takes you to the Helsinki Cathedral, an iconic neoclassical landmark with its grand white façade and green domes. This cathedral is an important symbol of Helsinki and is easily recognizable from various points in the city. For a panoramic view of the surrounding area, climb the steps to the top of the cathedral.

Tip: Visit during the daytime for the best lighting for photos of the cathedral and the surrounding square.

Stroll Through Senate Square

A photograph of Helsinki's Senate Square, showcasing its Neoclassical architecture. In the center of the square stands the bronze statue of Alexander II on a granite pedestal. In the background, the grand, white Helsinki Cathedral with its green domes and golden crosses dominates the scene, while other historic buildings, such as the Government Palace and the main building of the University of Helsinki, frame the square.

After visiting the cathedral, take a leisurely walk around Senate Square. This historic area is surrounded by some of Helsinki’s most significant buildings, including the Helsinki University and the National Library. It’s an excellent spot to relax and take in the city's architectural beauty.

Tip: Look for the statue of Emperor Alexander II at the center of the square, which stands as a symbol of Finnish independence from Russian rule.

Explore the Suomenlinna Fortress

A photograph of the Suomenlinna sea fortress in Helsinki, Finland. The image captures the historic fortifications, including stone walls and defensive structures, as they sit on a rocky shoreline. In the foreground, the sea is visible, and the fortress buildings are set against the backdrop of the sky.

No trip to Helsinki is complete without a visit to Suomenlinna Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located on a series of islands just a short ferry ride from the city. This 18th-century sea fortress is a blend of history, nature, and art. You can explore the old barracks, museums, and beautiful gardens while learning about Finland’s military history.

Tip: Pack a picnic and enjoy lunch in one of the peaceful green areas with views of the sea.

Visit the Design District

A row of distinctive, brightly colored Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) residential buildings in the Design District of Helsinki, Finland. The buildings are painted in alternating shades of striking yellow, soft green, and pink, and feature multiple bay windows, small balconies, and tall, dark, pointed turret roofs against a blue sky with white clouds. Several cars are parked along the street in front of the facades.

Helsinki is renowned for its design, and no trip would be complete without a visit to the Design District. This vibrant area is packed with design shops, galleries, and cafés showcasing Finnish creativity. Whether you’re looking for fashion, art, or unique home decor, this is the perfect spot to find beautiful, locally made products.

Tip: Be sure to check out local design shops for unique souvenirs or gifts to take home.

Relax at Esplanadi Park

A photograph of Esplanadi Park in Helsinki, Finland. The image shows a wide, tree lined avenue with lush green lawns and colorful flowerbeds. People are seen strolling along the pathways and relaxing on benches, enjoying the sunny day. Historic buildings, including the Swedish Theatre and Restaurant Kappeli, are visible in the background, framing the park.

End your day with a relaxing stroll through Esplanadi Park, a beautiful green oasis in the heart of Helsinki. This park is perfect for unwinding after a busy day of sightseeing. Enjoy the peaceful gardens, watch the street performers, and stop at one of the many cafés along the way for a moment of relaxation.
