Tie up those walking shoes, because with is numerous parks, monuments and other attractions, you'll spend a lot of time on your feet with all Helsinki has to offer.

Spend an afternoon picnicking near the grand Sibelius Monument in Sibelius Park, catch up on your reading at the popular Esplanade Park, or hone your ornithological skills at Viikinlathi Park, one of the birding hotspots of Helsinki. Take in sweeping views of the Gulf of Finland from Kaivopuisto (Well Park), or even grander panoramas from Observatory Hill. Home to the Helsinki Botanical Gardens, Kaisaniemen Puisto makes a great stopover for anyone with a green thumb.

Helsinki's Olympic Stadium, built for the 1952 summer games, is a popular landmark, as is its Hietaranta Beach, and for animal lovers, the Korkeasaari Zoo and the Sea Life Centre are can't-miss destinations.

Hietaranta

Outdoor Activities

Quote: The locals call it Hietsu and it is part of the Helsinki summer as much as anything. It is THE beach, it actually has sand, and the shallow, semi-salty baltic water warms up relatively nicely. On a sunny summer… Read More

Sea Life Centre

Korkeasaari
