It can be frustrating and time-consuming to research your travel destination. We live and work in Lisbon and know it like a back of our hand. We are always happy when people come and visit our beautiful home city and want you to have as much information about Helsinki as possible. That is why we have put together an online Helsinki Travel Guide full of essential information for your trip.
Compared to the other sprawling Scandinavian capitals (its only 'skyscraper' is just 12 stories high), Helsinki may seem provincial but this small city is surprisingly cosmopolitan. The Finnish capital boasts a highly educated, cultured and affluent populace. Its streets are filled with coffee-guzzling, mobile-phone wielding go-getters. The technology boom and the presence of a prestigious university make for a young city with an active nightlife. Helsinki also enjoys an impressive selection of cultural institutions, from a brand new opera house to a cutting-edge contemporary art museum.
