It is no wonder that Helsinki fits perfectly with the Baltic area’s bays, islands, and inlets, owing to its status of being a harbour-side capital of Finland.
While Helsinki may seem like a younger, more contemporary version of the older Scandinavian towns and capitals, it is unarguably the coolest one of all. The city boasts of architecture like no other city in the world, with countless boutiques, workshops, and galleries popping up in Helsinki’s celebrated Design District. Apart from the main district itself, smaller designers and entrepreneurs often craft unique creations in Helsinki’s thoroughfares and backstreets. The city has a boisterous food culture, which is evolving with every passing day, offering local tasting menus, craft beers, and a wide variety of microbreweries and coffee houses. Getting around in this city should be best left to a car hire in Helsinki.
However, Helsinki hasn’t altogether forgotten where it came from. Its older, more iconic structures have stood the test of time, and now exist beside the new architecture that keeps springing up. Old, yet stunningly pretty art-nouveau buildings, quaint cafes, museums that have preserved Finnish heritage, and restaurants from the 1930s still stand proud. Hop into a car rental in Helsinki to enjoy the most of your vacation!
