Being the capital city of Finland and built around a major port, Helsinki has been the watchful sentinel who has witnessed the evolution and intermixing of cultures. Bask your senses by taking a walk through the popular Market Square surrounding the harbor or visit the sprawling Esplanadi where the entire city gathers in the evening. You can also choose to observe the evolving traditions of Finland by visiting the Four Famous Churches of Helsinki which portray its transition from a Swedish territory to a Russian outpost and finally to an independent nation. A short ferry ride from Helsinki will land you at the famous UNESCO world heritage site of the Suomenlinna Fortress.
Rovaniemi
