Busy Helsinki offers its residents events, nature and experiences

The ever-energetic Helsinki is home to over 600,000 people. Even though Helsinki is busy and full of events, it’s also close to nature and, most importantly, the beautiful sea. Helsinki’s secret asset is the wide array of experiences and activities on offer around the clock, no matter what you’re looking for, be it restaurants or museums. Helsinki has something for everyone!

Helsinki has renewed itself throughout the years and offers entirely new kinds of events both for its residents and tourists. Helsinki City Museum by the Senate Square offers free culture and spectacles to visitors. The city oasis Allas Sea Pool offers new ways to enjoy the Baltic Sea in the most central location in the city. The amusement park Linnanmäki has been offering fun for the whole family ever summer for decades.

Helsinki is also a city for the design savvy. In the Design District, you can find interesting brands that invite you to try something new and different.
