Helsinki offers a unique mix of Nordic traditions and modern urban spaces. The city features public saunas like Sompasauna by the sea, where entry is free thanks to volunteer work, as well as century-old market halls such as Hakaniemi, built in 1914. Surrounding islands like Sisä-Hattu allow visitors to view ancient rock carvings in preserved natural surroundings, while Kivinokka beach provides direct access to the sea from a wooded area. Downtown combines various architectural styles, from granite churches to wooden buildings like Kamppi Chapel, a quiet spot amid the city's activity. Art enthusiasts will find the graffiti wall at Suvilahti, a legal space for artistic expression, and those seeking less-known locations will discover themed bars like Trillby & Chadwick, decorated in the 1920s style. A few kilometers away, Liesjärvi National Park offers hiking trails through forests abundant in berries and mushrooms, while the abandoned villas of Kruunuvuori reflect a bygone era.
