, Helsinki Heats Up

Helsinki is not usually the first name that comes to mind when one talks about Europe as a holiday destination. But for contemporary design lovers and culture buffs, it’s the cutting-edge city to beat. Despite a modest population of over 600,000, a mind-boggling number of galleries, museums and design studios flourish in the mini-metropolis. Helsinki is a pleasure to visit during any season. Traffic jams are uncommon here and even major tourist attractions are never rammed to the rafters. The locals, a tad reserved on first impression, are open to tourists and willing to give them their time of the day. And with Finland’s centennial celebration.
