Surrounded by freezing waters spattered with picturesque islands and
islets, Finnish capital Helsinki is an ever more fashionable European
destination. Wander the sparkling streets and you’ll find plenty of
vibrant modernism in the form of art noveau architecture and spacious
cafes alongside tiny corners of carefully preserved Finnish heritage
that can’t have changed in centuries.
Especially during the icy winters, Helsinki can be glacially cold, but
during the summer its lively and welcoming, and begs you to explore
exciting spots like the tightly packed islands of Suomenlinna,
where you can picnic amongst the soaring ferns, and the happy-go-lucky
natives still gather every evening to wave as the ferries glide through
the narrow straight between the islands. Another essential offshore
experience is eating at the unforgettably romantic island restaurants,
towering amongst the rocks and serving magnificent locally caught
seafood.
