Helsinki

Helsinki is located at the Gulf of Finland, and is, as you probably already know, the capital of Finland, a neighbouring country to Sweden!

Fun Facts: Helsinki was included among Europe’s nine Cities of Culture in the year 2000. In 2007, Helsinki made a name for itself in all of Europe when it hosted the Eurovision Song Contest successfully. In 2012, Helsinki was granted the honour of acting to be the global capital city of design, World Design Capital Helsinki, and in 2014, Helsinki got the award City of Design award within Unesco’s Creative Cities Network!

Good to know! At Norwegian Holidays, we appreciate good food and excellent products, and as such, we have to tell you about the cozy Hakaniemi Market Hall! Only two subway stations from Helsinki Central Station, you get to step into a more genuine and traditional Helsinki, manifesting in the shape of this charming preserved market hall from 1914 with food on the ground floor and designer stores on the next floor.

Get around – In addition to being an excellent city to explore by foot, it is also easy to get around with trams, buses and subway lines.

Are you curious to know more about this charming city? We really recommend you to do so – it is a relatively unknown gem for most Europeans but definitely worth exploring!
