The Monocle Travel Guide to Helsinki: The Monocle Travel Guide Series

Meet the artists shaking up the cultural scene and leaf through this literary hubâ€™s many libraries â€“ did someone mention the Moomins?
Helsinki is a tale of two cities. Arrive mid-winter and youâ€™ll find a frosty wonderland of deserted, snow-caked streets, the residents holed up in cosy, impeccably designed cafÃ©s. Come in summer, when the sun refuses to set, and youâ€™ll catch locals partying merrily into the early hours and leaping gleefully into the Baltic Sea.
The Finnish capital is used to being eclipsed by its older â€“ and perhaps trendier â€“ Nordic neighbours but it has far more to offer than the first-time visitor might think. Weâ€™ve taste tested both the classic restaurants serving heartwarming dishes (reindeer fillet, anyone?) and those taking new Nordic cuisine to all-new heights.
Weâ€™ve mapped out runs along the waterfront and sized up the visionary structures of design icon Alvar Aalto. Plus, one or two saunas to kick back and relax in â€“ itâ€™s up to you whether you sweat it out in your swimsuit or the buff. Whatever the season, Helsinkiâ€™s streets, forests and islands are ripe for exploring. So pull on your snow boots â€“ or your sandals â€“ and join us for a tour of this confident and cultured city.
