One Day in Helsinki: Iconic Sights with Fascinating Facts

#falladventures The Central Market Square is already dressed in festive attire, with stalls hinting at Christmas. Interesting facts about Helsinki: - Helsinki is ruled by the sea: the city has more than 300 islands and a long coastline, so life here constantly revolves around water. - In the city centre there are almost no tall buildings; Finns love natural light, so the streets are wide and the architecture is minimalist and spacious. - Unlike most European capitals, Helsinki is very young: it was founded only in the 16th century. - The Cathedral building on Senate Square, the city’s most iconic image, was modelled on the architecture of Saint Petersburg. - Helsinki has over 2,800 saunas, and the sauna is an integral part of everyday life; many Finns go to the sauna several times a week. - The city is one of the safest in Europe, with very low crime rates and an exceptionally peaceful atmosphere.
