WHY GO

The capital of Finland is also the country's cultural, financial and economic centre. On the one hand, the city exudes an atmosphere that is tranquil, reserved and reminiscent. It is a place of quiet nostalgia, the way European cities used to be. The streets are clean and safe and trams weave across cobblestoned avenues. Street musicians play Bach. On the other hand, Helsinki is sleek, efficient and modern, with trendy nightclubs and the highest rate of Internet perpetration in the world. Finnish design has been leading the way for decades; and now the capital's stylish new bars and cutting-edge restaurants make it a hot weekend destination.
