  • 5 Reasons to Be Inspired by Helsinki
    5 reasons to be inspired by Helsinki 1. Urban city culture and clean Nordic nature in the same package Helsinki is one of the greenest metropolises in the world: over one third of the city consists of parks and other green areas, and it is surrounded on three sides by the sea, which is an essential part everyday life in Helsinki. Helsinki has almost 100 kilometres of shoreline and around 300 islands. Many of the islands are accessible for recreational use. The archipelago offers endless opportunities for experiences at their best at summer time. Helsinki’s islands and coastline are perfect places to enjoy the fresh air and swimming. Visitors can try an authentic Finnish sauna e.g. on the island of Uunisaari or in the brand new Kulttuurisauna “Culture Sauna” beside the sea in Hakaniemi. Helsinki is also one of the cleanest capital cities in the world. The noise, pollution and congestion that are often associated with capital cities are noticeably absent here. The safe and tidy streets combined with the compact size of the city make Helsinki a pleasant place to visit. 2. The urban northern summer experience and the landmarks of Helsinki In summertime the terraces, parks, seaside boulevards of Helsinki and nearby islands are filled with people enjoying the outdoors. The nights are white and the evening entertainment stretches into the early hours of the morning. Summer is also the season for urban festivals and open-air events. Even on the hottest days of the year, the breezes off the sea remain fresh. The symbol of Helsinki is the brilliant white cathedral known in Finnish as Tuomiokirkko that towers above Senate Square.

  • Helsinki 1. - 4
    HELSINKI 1. - 4. AUGUST 2011 This time we had booked a trip to Helsinki, which is the capital of Finland. This is the 28th capital we are visiting. ☺ We went as usual from Gardermoen. This time we went once again with Norwegian. The plain departed 14.15 and was planned to arrive 16.35, but it went a bit quicker. The area “Finland Proper” was incorporated in Sweden in 1154 by the Swedish king Erik. That was the start of the 700 years of Swedish rule. In the 1200s also Tavastia and most of Karelia became parts of the Swedish empire. In 1808 Alexander I of Russia conquered the parts of Sweden that are located east of the Bothnian Bay during a war called The Finnish War, and it became thereafter the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland inside the Russian Empire until the revolution in 1917. Flagg Riksvåpen The Finnish national poem Kalevala was written down in 1835 and fiction in the Finnish language started to grow. The 6th of December 1917, shortly after the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, Finland declared itself independent. There was an agreement about the Finnish-Russian border in 1920 by the treaty in Tartu. In 1918 broke out a short, but very bitter civil war, which marked the country’s politics during many years. During WWII Finland fought against The Soviet Union tvice: In the Winter War from 1939 to 1940 and again in the Continuation War 1941–1944. When the German Continuation War collapsed the same year, Finland ceased peace with the Soviet Union.
