Helsinki was highly rated for architecture by 215 guests from the United States!Helsinki Travel Guide
Nordic Daughter of the Baltic
Scratch beneath the small-town surface of Helsinki and you will find a cosmopolitan metropolis buzzing with a lively attitude and plenty of excitement. The relatively short-lived summer offers the best chance to appreciate the outdoors and sit on one of the popular café terraces, or even hit the Hietaniemi Beach, all of which can be enjoyed during the 20 hours of daylight.
Strolling around the streets of Helsinki will reveal an Empire-style of architecture, comparable to St. Petersburg. The greatest example of this is the green-domed Lutheran Cathedral which rises proudly out of the center of Senate Square.
From here the main shopping street of Aleksanterinkatu, affectionately known as Aleksi, runs towards Mannerheimintie and contains the largest department store in Scandanavia, called Stockmann. The up-market boulevard of Esplanadi runs alongside and is packed with exclusive boutiques.
Lovers of Nordic design will be thrilled by the Design Museum and the Ateneum Art Museum. Nature is in abundance on the beautiful archipelago which lies along the coast. A must-see is the Baltic fortress of Suomenlinna, where you just might forget you’re in a big city.
Whether you head to a sauna or amusement park when you disembark from Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport, with over 65 hotels, apartments and hostels, Booking.com has the perfect place for your Scandinavian stay.

Discovering Helsinki for two days is not enough you need to...
Discovering Helsinki for two days is not enough you need to stay at least 3 days and 2 nights. I wrapped my day of adventure at the Old market, beautiful
Old Building standing in the middle of the city. Many stalls of foods to choose from. It was also easy getting around the city because WiFi spots are everywhere. Being alone traveling in Helsinki is so much fun. You’re so free to visit whatever you want to see. You take your time and enjoying every moments of your life.

Public transportation is easy to navigate.
Public transportation is easy to navigate. Staying near the university gives the area a young vibe. Make time to visit the many museums as they are well presented, even the Helsinki University Museum. Eat lots of smoked salmon and various caviars. If in search of a great food market, check out Stockmanns in addition to the old food halls.

Be warned that everything is expensive!
Be warned that everything is expensive! A bottle of water is €3 so be sure to bring your own water bottle to refill at fountains. Also bring comfy footwear, everything is within walking distance and will save you cash.

Nice city.
Nice city. You can explore most important places by foot if you are centrally located. If you have to buy chocolates of karl frazer buy them from K supermarket. Check holidays and museum timings before fixing dates. Day travel card is available. The finnair city bus very convenient.

Helsinki is a lovely small city and would recommend it to...
Helsinki is a lovely small city and would recommend it to everyone for a weekend or a few days .There are many nice shops ,good restaurants museums ,nice port area and historical sights all within a very compact center .The city is clean and traffic is very good too .People are generally polite and friendly and loved their soups and salmon especially in the winter time.
“It was by water, not far from the city center. It was quiet in the room, we couldn't hear anything from the neighbors. Bathroom was perfectly clean. Two king-size beds was a treat! Breakfast was good also. We were leaving the city late, so we requested late checkout and were able to stay until 6pm which was very nice of the hotel staff. ”
“Extremely comfortable bed.
Public transport right next to hotel. Recommend using tram 4 to get to the city center.
Good breakfast.
Room was equipped with everything.
Super polite and helpful staff.
Beautiful surroundings and, of course, sea with beach is right next to you.”
“I liked the wall panels and the disain of the bathroom/ coffe making unit and I also liked the big reproduction of the oil painting on the wall. The interior disainer did a good job with the room.”
“Very good layout & cool design. Fantastic location.
Great value. No human interaction. Very well organized & easy self service Checkin with door codes.”
“Amazing interior, great staff and the hotel restaurant Krog Roba was delicious. The junior suite we stayed at was spacious, tasteful and I really liked the Nespresso machine in the room.”
“Even though the location was closer to the ferry terminals than the city center, there are 3 different tram lines that take you straight into the city centre.”
