Helsinki Zoo
Whether you come with your family or travel alone, you should always spend at least one day at the famous Helsinki Zoo. Home to more than 150 exotic animal species, it is undoubtedly one of Helsinki’s best-known attractions. Helsinki Zoo also has an on-site souvenir shop and a handful of restaurants.
Playing
Helsinki is also a well-known destination thanks to its world-class casino selection. These include Kulosaaren Casino, Paf-Helsinki and Hotel Arthur. Since they are usually located near the city center, navigation should not be a problem. Of course, you can choose access instead live tables online if you want to hang out in your hotel room.
Steam
Instead, why not enjoy a little downtime by participating in a unique Helsinki tradition? Löyly is a large complex with a sauna, an outdoor terrace and a restaurant. One of the most interesting options associated with this facility is that it is located by the water. If you are brave enough, you can even take a dip in the sea! As this is a very popular venue, it is wise to contact them in advance to confirm your booking.
Suomenlinna sea fortress
The city of Helsinki has a rich history and this next attraction offers a unique glimpse into the past. Suomenlinna sea fortress is a defensive structure originally built to protect citizens from other nations such as Russia. It is more than six kilometers long and there are more than 100 cannons on top of the walls. The fortress can be reached by the nearby Helsinki ferry and is open all year round.
Helsinki market square
The last sight you can experience during your vacation is Helsinki market square. Not only is this a great place to appreciate local arts and crafts, but it has become famous for its restaurants. Don’t forget to drink coffee and a sugar donut (a traditional Helsinki delicacy). You can relax on the beach or sit under the large heated tents (if you happen to arrive during the winter months).
Whether you’re traveling here on business or vacation, Helsinki leaves little to the imagination when it comes to its attractions. If you want to know more about these or other options, don’t hesitate to do more research online. Planning ahead is the best way to get the most out of your visit.
