Tourist Guide Helsinki:
Helsinki is a modern European cultural city with a population of over half
a million, whose urban cosmopolitan lifestyle exists in perfect harmony with
nature. Surrounded by the sea and its own exotic archipelago, Helsinki offers
visitors an endless number of possibilities.
Throughout its 450-year history, Helsinki has existed in the crosscurrents of
the East and West. The colorful layers of history can be seen everywhere. The
sea and islands are important components of the city centre's expression. All
in all, there are 315 islands off the 98-km shoreline.
The National Opera will wonderfully intrigue friends of the opera and ballet.
Classical music can in turn be digested at the Finlandia Hall and the House
of Culture. All three buildings are also classics of Finnish architecture.

I like Helsinki the best. It has a brilliant department store called Stockman that is in the town and it has everything example manicure, supermarket, brilliant drinks and for kids there is an amazing drink called Trip and grandi and amazing apple pie. In winter you can go there and go sking and at summer you can go in the sauna and swimming in the lake and if you go in town you can drop your laguages. And go to adventures forest to have a long walk or go sking or ride some reindeers or pony's. There is an amazing cathederal and beautiful harbour.

Helsinki is a nice city that is a great place to visit for a relaxing vacation. There is no need to rent a car, as public transportation is abundant and the city is very pedestrian friendly. There is no need to know Finnish, everyone is more than happy to speak English! Be sure to enjoy Kauppatori for cheap and delicious food. However, stay away from pizza while in Finland.
