Lapinlahti Bay

Helsinki boasts a seven-kilometre stretch of seaside real estate featuring various attractions for tourists to explore, including Lapinlahti Bay. A seaside stroll around the bay will bring visitors past sights such as the Sibelius Monument, an open-air museum, Hietaniemi Beach and to a mini-golf course, where they can spend the afternoon and early evening playing alongside their friends and family. Activities such as these are extremely popular amongst families with children. Visitors can also see the official residence of the President of Finland while strolling along the coastline.

The Scandinavian cuisine that can be found in Helsinki is unlike anything else in the world and should be experienced by all visitors to the city. Chez Dominique is one of the most renowned restaurants in the area, serving Michelin-starred cuisine that is a fusion of French and Scandinavian. Bellevue serves some of the finest Russian food in the entire country; Helsinki is well known for its Russian-influenced cuisine, making this restaurant the standard by which all others are compared. Lappi offers a taste of traditional Lapland foods and ingredients, making it an exciting place for tourists to visit if they are looking for something a little different.

There is the city’s marathon, the Helsinki Baltic Herring Fair or the many street parties that are held to celebrate May Day, which is the official start of spring in Finland.
