| Helsinki Overview |
Originally modelled on St Petersburg, Helsinki is a small, beautiful and yet cosmopolitan city. The eastern European influence is clear but much of the cities architecture reveals a proud Finnish nationalism. The capital of Finland is located to the far south of the country which is why it offers such a unique blend of Scandinavia and eastern European traditions.
Helsinki has some fantastic museums and art galleries and many find the extraordinary blend of new and old buildings just as interesting. The Finnish capital also has a youthful feel with many bars and cafes being aimed at the population of Helsinki’s prominent university.

Havis Amanda - Situated in the Kauppatori, or market square, this fantastic mermaid statue and fountain is one of the cities most prominent landmarks.
