Information on Cheap Flights to Helsinki

Helsinki, Finland was founded in 1550 by King Gustav Vasa of Sweden. It is the country’s capital and also its largest city. Helsinki is a coastal maritime city, nicknamed the “daughter of the Baltic”. From its ideal location on the coast, you can take summertime sightseeing ferries from Helsinki’s port to visit the Suomenlinna naval fortress (a UNESCO World Heritage site) or to the Seurasaari Island with its parks and open-air museum. Helsinki also has cruise-ferry links with Stockholm, Sweden and hydrofoil and catamaran links to Estonia and Tallinn. Helsinki is famous for its numerous early 19th century Art Nouveau buildings featured in residential areas of Katajanokka and Ullanlinna. There are various collections of museums, galleries and performance spaces to see as well. Helsinki is small and easy to walk around while enjoying the cafés, markets, and the nearby islands. An important recreational area for the residents is Helsinki Central Park, a narrow, ten kilometer strip of greenery that stretches from the city center to the city’s northern border. In the winter-time ice swimming is a popular past-time and there are many locations along the coast, some with saunas. During the coldest months of the winter some Helsinkians like to go for walks on the frozen sea, although precautions must be taken. If ice swimming seems too adventurous, you might prefer to stroll down the classic Aleksanterinkatu's Christmas street (Joulukatu), traditionally and elaborately decorated with Christmas lights. Helsinki is also home to the Linnanmäki amusement park, which has many rides, including five roller coasters and the world's first Intamin ZacSpin rollercoaster.
