Known for its museums, Lutheran churches, parks, plazas, sculptures, statues, winter gardens, waterways, marinas, public saunas, fresh food markets and Scandinavian cuisine, Helsinki is a port-city located in southern Finland.

Finland is home to both the northern lights and Santa Claus. When in Helsinki, keep in mind that the Finns like their saunas hot and that it is considered impolite to stare. It goes without saying that one should stay hydrated if partaking in public saunas. Finns tend not to smile often, men typically do not open doors for women and please and thank you are absent from the Finnish language. English is commonly spoken in Helsinki, especially with the younger crowd. Nightclubs typically remain open until around 4 AM. In Helsinki, cars travel on the right-hand side, currency is the Euro and the legal drinking ages are 18-years old for beer and wine, and 20-years old for spirits. Helsinki accommodations are some of Scandinavia’s best. Before we get to Helsinki accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way. 

Helsinki’s first permanent settlements were formed during the first millennium AD by an ancient Finnish tribe, the Tavastians. Prior to that time, following the Ice Age, temporary settlements popped-up around 5000 BC, as evidenced by archaeological discoveries in Vantaa, Pitäjänmäki and Kaarela. The Tavastians controlled the area and utilized it for hunting, fishing and agriculture until about the 10th century. Archaeological findings such as crosses and Christian objects place the arrival of Christianity to the area during the 11th century. Until 1008 AD, early settlements were raided by Vikings. The Battle at Herdaler circa 1008 AD between Norse-Viking leader Olav Haraldsson and local Finns nearly took Olav’s life, after which the Vikings no longer raided Finland coastlines. It is believed traditionally that three Kingdom of Sweden crusades incorporated the region into both the Swedish Empire and Christianity. Swedish-Christians from Norrland and Hälsingland migrated to the area around 1100. Sweden permanently colonized the region circa the late-13th century following its defeat of the Tavastians. During the Middle Ages, the Helsinki-area consisted of small villages. Notable medieval buildings were Vartiokylä hillfort (1380s) and Church of St. Lawrence (1450). Several thousand people lived in Helsinki’s keep (fortified tower) during the Middle Ages. Benefiting from its location near the Baltic Sea, Helsinki became one of Finland’s and Uusimaa province’s wealthiest cities via trade in commodities such as furs, fish, tar, wood, salt, grain and cattle. On June 12, 1550, King Gustav I of Sweden officially founded Helsingfors (Helsinki) as a trading town and rival to the Hanseatic League city of Reval (present-day Tallinn). As with many cities made of wood, Helsinki was damaged by fires during the 17th century. In 1710, the plague killed most of Helsinki’s population. The Russians captured Helsinki in May 1713 as a result of the Great Northern War. The naval fortress Sveaborg (Suomenlinna) was constructed in 1748 under the Swedish Crown as a defense against Russia. The Finnish War of 1808 between Russia and Sweden resulted in a Russian victory, the Treaty of Fredriksham being executed, Sweden losing control of Finland and the Grand Duchy of Finland (an autonomous part of the Russian Empire) being constituted. During the Finnish War, the Russians besieged the Sveaborg fortress and about a quarter of the city was destroyed by fire. On April 8, 1812, Emperor Alexander I of Russia moved Finland’s capital from Turku to Helsinki, a city farther from Swedish influence and closer to St. Petersburg. Helsinki thus was rebuilt in neoclassical style to resemble St. Petersburg. By the 1910s, the city’s population had surpassed 100,000. The early-20th century brought both the Finnish Civil War and the Winter War. In 1952, Helsinki hosted the Summer Olympics, and in the early 1980s the Helsinki Metro opened to the public.

Finland’s capital city, Helsinki today is home to around 690,000 Helsinkians. About 5.5% of the Helsinki population’s native language is Swedish, while around 70% of Helsinkians are aged 15-64. Scandinavia’s third-largest municipality, Helsinki harbors a range of vessels to include ferries, cruise ships, container ships, icebreakers and Finnish Navy boats on the Gulf of Finland. In 2024, about 4.5 million people visited White City of the North. Helsinki is one of the world’s busiest passenger ports. Ferry services include Viking Line, Tallink Silja Line and Eckerö Line, while international cruise lines include Norwegian Cruise Line, MSC Cruises, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises and Royal Carribean International. White City of the North is regarded as one of the world’s most livable cities.  A humid continental climate accounts for average July high temperatures at around 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and just below freezing in February. Due to its location on the Gulf, Helsinki experiences a shorter snow season than that of northern Finland. Additional points of interest include Kiasma (contemporary art museum), Aurinkolahti (neighborhood), Eläintarhanlahti (bay area), Helsinki City Museum, Finnish National Gallery, Finnish National Theatre, Helsinki Music Centre (Musiikkitalo – live music venue) and Helsinki Olympic Stadium. Local foods include herring, rye bread, berries, cheese, rice pies, salmon, cinnamon buns and other seafoods. Finland’s national beverage is milk, while popular alcoholic drinks are lakka (liquor derived from cloudberry fruit) and mesimarja ( liquor derived from brambleberries). With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Helsinki accommodations that will help make for an exciting trip.
