Helsinki, Finland
Helsinki is the capital and largest city of Finland.
Helsinki is some 80 kilometers (50 mi) north of Tallinn, Estonia, 400 km (250 mi) east of Stockholm, Sweden, and 390 km (240 mi) west of Saint Petersburg, Russia. Helsinki has close historical connections with these three cities.
Helsinki is Finland's major political, educational, financial, cultural, and research center as well as one of northern Europe's major cities.
Helsinki was established as a trading town by King Gustav I of Sweden in 1550 as the town of Helsingfors, which he intended to be a rival to the Hanseatic city of Reval (today known as Tallinn). Little came of the plans as Helsinki remained a tiny town plagued by poverty, wars, and diseases.
The plague of 1710 killed the greater part of the inhabitants of Helsinki. The construction of the naval fortress Sveaborg (In Finnish Viapori, today also Suomenlinna) in the 18th century helped improve Helsinki's status, but it was not until Russia defeated Sweden in the Finnish War and annexed Finland as the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland in 1809 that the town began to develop into a substantial city. During the war, Russians besieged the Sveaborg fortress, and about one quarter of the town was destroyed in a 1808 fire.
Russian Emperor Alexander I of Russia moved the Finnish capital from Turku to Helsinki in 1812 to reduce Swedish influence in Finland, and to bring the capital closer to St. Petersburg.
Despite the tumultuous nature of Finnish history during the first half of the 20th century (including the Finnish Civil War and the Winter War which both left marks on the city), Helsinki continued its steady development. A landmark event was the 1952 Olympic Games, held in Helsinki. Finland's rapid urbanization in the 1970s, occurring late relative to the rest of Europe, tripled the population in the metropolitan area.
The Sibelius Monument is dedicated to the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865–1957). The monument is located at the Sibelius Park in the district of Töölö in Helsinki.
Temppeliaukio Church is a Lutheran church in the Töölö neighborhood of Helsinki. The church was designed by architects and brothers Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen and opened in 1969. Built directly into solid rock, it is also known as the Church of the Rock and Rock Church.
Helsinki - The City Tour
Here is a short video that I made about my short trip to Helsinki, Finland in July 2017. Helsinki is situated south of Finland, is the largest city and also the capital of Finland.
The trip to Helsinki was an added bonus trip for me. As there is no direct flight connection between Singapore - Klefavik, Iceland. My only option was to transit in Helsinki Vaanta Airport in Finland. With the 8 hours layover provided me a great opportunity to explore the city centre of Helsinki. I'm glad to be able to transform this lengthy layover into an awesome bonus trip.
The city centre is approximately 20km away from the airport. Anyone can easily head down to the city centre from the airport via P or I Train, or the Finnair City Bus journey duration approximately 30-40mins.
Helsinki is attractive and unique from many countries I visited so far. The rich history, beautiful colourful architectures and the lengthy daylight in summer make the city as worthy destination for all travellers. I'm definitely looking forward to visit the city and Finland again, perhaps exploring much more in depth on the next opportunity.

Helsinki, capital of Finland, is a vibrant seaside city of awesome islands and Top best urban areas. Helsinki marches to a mind blowing and unique beat of its own with energetic food, design, architecture – and sauna! – scenes. Helsinki and its Nordic culture are made by the locals.
There are five Islands which are joined by bridges and there is an Orthodox Church is designed and stationed as the centre feature - it's really a spectacular view of Suomenlinna Church of Helsinki, Finland. it was casted on 1854 as the highest point which is surrounded by other Fortress yet got the cathedral status on 1891. It contains the largest Bell of Finland also.
In the year of 1929 the central dome of the Church was doubled as it was decided to use as a Lighthouse as well.
Ateneum is not an ordinary Art Museum in Helsinki,Finland actually. It is solely housing the maximum number of collections of classical art in the country of Finland. You can see it very near to the central railway station of Helsinki on the south side of Rautatientori square, in the centre of Helsinki. Another thing to remember about Ateneum is - it is the Museum which is the one of the three museums forming the Finnish National Gallery also.
The capital city of Finland is Helsinki. In Helsinki there is a district called Töölö. Sibelius Park is there. In Sibelius Park we can see The Sibelius Monument, which is dedicated to the famous composer Jean Sibelius and one of the five top attractions of Helsinki.
In Töölö ( the neighbourhood of Helsinki) we can see the
Temppeliaukion church which is a Lutheran church and known as the Church of the Rock or the Rock Church too; as because it is made by solid Rock only.
Between the south harbour and Esplanade Park of the eastern side of central Helsinki the market square is located.
The Presidential Palace, the Uspenski Cathedral, the old market hall the ferry ports that is connecting the mainland to the Unesco World Heritage site Suomenlinna - are situated as the surroundings of the square active
