About the First Tour: Capital of Contrasts in Helsinki

Helsinki is a city that’s constantly evolving—a place where bold modern design meets timeless traditions, and urban life blends harmoniously with nature. On the “Capital of Contrasts” tour, you’ll uncover layers of history, creativity, and culture woven beautifully throughout the capital’s streets.

 

 

On this 150-minute tour, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Discover Helsingin Päärautatieasema (Helsinki’s central railway station), once home to the world’s longest train route
• Learn about Finland’s remarkable education system, consistently ranked among the world’s best
• Explore Esplanadi, a beloved urban oasis since 1812, where locals gather for musical performances and picnics throughout the changing seasons
• Visit Kauppatori (Market Square) where you can sample Finnish delicacies like reindeer meat and sweet ’munkki’ doughnuts while admiring views of the Baltic Sea
• Hear the fascinating story of Marshal Mannerheim, the legendary military leader who guided Finland through independence and the dramatic Winter War against the Soviet Union
• Try out your language skills with the nation’s longest 61-letter word
• Find out about Finnish cultural treasures like the Moomins, the Kalevala national epic, and several internationally renowned design and architectural innovations

 

Creating this tour was a deeply personal project for me. I wanted it to feel like I’m walking alongside you, sharing not just facts but the soul of Helsinki. I hope it leaves you feeling inspired and connected to this one-of-a-kind city.
