A perfect way to round out your visit to Finland is to join the Best of Finland itinerary, on which you not only enjoy all Lapland has to offer, but also immerse yourself in the Finnish capital.
Helsinki exists at a historical crossroads. Sweden established the city in the 1500s and held it until Russia defeated Sweden in the Finnish War in the early 1800s and annexed Finland in 1809. From this time on, the town began to develop into a substantial city. Eventually, Finland won independence from Russia after World War I and the Russian Revolution. Today, Helsinki is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe.
On the Best of Finland journey, you get to know Finland’s capital with a full-day tour showcasing the important sites of this Nordic City. You also head on a half-day visit to the unique Helsinki Design District, which encompasses some 25 streets. It’s the ideal way to see the most popular attractions on a Finnish vacation.
