1 Helsinki

Finland’s capital since 1812, Helsinki is called the “White
City of the North,” a reference to the gleaming white
Neoclassical buildings commissioned by its Russian Key
rulers in the 19th century. It also boasts impressive Sight / Place of interest
modern architecture, from the copper, glass, and rock Pedestrian street
Temppeliaukio Church to the futuristic Kiasma center.
The city is at its best in summer, when long days and
clear light lift the mood of Finns, and the parks and
waterfront cafés fill with lively crowds.
