Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is a historic port city that captivates you with its maritime heritage and flair for modern art and design. While Market Square on the waterfront is filled with stalls selling moccasins, sauna buckets, and wooden carved hunting knives, the Design District is filled with contemporary art galleries and chic boutiques at the forefront of Scandi style. And if you just can’t get enough, visit the architecturally astounding museums like the National Museum of Finland and Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma between shopping, dining, and hanging out in the city's cool neighbourhoods like Kallio.
Helsinki International Airport (HEL) provides direct flights to and from most major cities across the world including London, Paris, Munich, New York, Tokyo, New Delhi, and Dubai. The airport is 20 km north of central Helsinki, which can be reached in around 30 minutes by taking the Helsinki train from Lentoasema to Helsingin päärautatieasema.
