For those looking to travel to one of the more busy destinations in Finland, Helsinki is the place to be. As a capital of the country, this spot is the most popular area for tourists to visit with plenty to do and see. Common sites to see here are the various stunning churches in the area, as well as the stadium that hosted the Olympics back in the early 1950s. As a seaside city, there are plenty of neighboring islands, and green parks for exploring, as well as a busy nightlife that makes for an ideal way to get to meet new people and immerse oneself in the culture of Finland. There are approximately 620,000 people residing in Helsinki and over three hundred islands to see forming a brilliant archipelago. Other interesting activities also include traditional saunas, which are lakeside and offer something inherent in everyday life for the Finnish, as well as the opportunity to try new foods in the vibrant, exponentially growing cuisine industry. Although Helsinki is the capital of Finland and a vital stop during any vacation here, the last stop on this list may be an ideal site to finish a trip off on a good note.
