HELSINKI CITY BREAKS
3 days from £340 pp

Helsinki is an intriguing mixture: a neo -classical marvel with an art nouveau quarter interspersed with Alvar Aalto's spectacular modern architecture and set on a peninsula jutting out into the Baltic. Smart pavement cafés on Esplanaden; gourmet restaurants at a fraction of London prices; concerts and ballet at Finlandia Hall; boat trips and great value shopping particularly for such iconic design brands as Arabia and Iittala.

You can see Helsinki at your own pace by just hopping on and off a tram or with an audio guided tour leaving from Esplanaden 3 times a day. The evening 'Captain's Cruise' is the perfect way to see the city's eastern archipelago under the mystical light of the Midnight Sun. With the sea all around you and the countryside seeping into the city, Helsinki is one of the perfect ways to spend summer in the city. The Helsinki Card saves you time, effort and money to get around the city and costs approximately £20 for 24 hours. Included in this is a free City Tour, free entry to all the major sights and around 50 museums, unlimited free travel on public transport, a map, guidebook and more besides.

And just across the water is the painstakingly restored medieval city of Tallinn whose Hanseatic buildings cluster around Toompea Hill entwined with narrow cobbled streets with pastry cafés and bars at every turn and topped with a crenellated walled castle and Orthodox cathedral.
