The capital of Finland Helsinki is the main city of the Uusimaa region and the entire country. There is always something to do for tourists here. Beautiful architecture, an eventful cultural life, plenty of opportunities for a relaxed holiday and closeness to nature – all this attracts millions of guests from all over the world every year. The districts of the Finnish capital are unique – the bustling Kamppi, the fashionable Ulanlinna, the garden city of Eira, the designer Punavuori, and the wonderful island of Katajanokka. And there are also Ruoholahti, Kallio, Pasila, Töölö and other city districts, saturated to the limit with attractions and rich cultural traditions.

Do not forget the capital’s museums. If you come to Helsinki, be sure to visit the City Museum, located almost on Senate Square, the main art museum of Finland Ateneum, which is often called the “Finnish Hermitage”, the magical Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma.

Helsinki is a starting point and a base for trips to other cities in Uusimaa region, especially Raseborg, Hanko and Porvoo. Espoo for a long time was considered a suburb of Helsinki, its western part. Formerly a poor outskirts of the capital, today it is thriving, and the average income here is even higher than in Helsinki itself. Espoo is famous for its recreational areas, university and cultural attractions. Here is the amazing EMMA art museum, the most accessible and most comfortable for tourists Finnish national park Nuuksio and a lot of interesting attractions.

Vantaa is known primarily for its wonderful airport, through which many travelers get to Finland. However, few people know that Vantaa is the unofficial Finnish capital of street art. The amazing Eureka center and the popular Flamingo water park are also located here. Of considerable interest to tourists is the tiny town of Inkoo, which is the starting point for several tourist routes. The town of Hyvinkää, which arose around the railway station, is known today for its large beer festival, which is combined with an equally large rock festival. Helsinki is also a large seaport, where delightful sea cruises to Tallinn and Stockholm start on the huge, comfortable ships of various ferry companies.
