Design capital with neoclassical waterfronts
Finland's coastal capital sits on a peninsula dotted with islands — Russian-influenced architecture, world-class design shops, and sauna culture in every neighborhood.
Trams cover the center; ferry to Suomenlinna; walk a lot.
Take a public sauna with locals — Löyly or Kotiharjun.
Very safe. Sauna etiquette: nudity normal, towel usually optional.
Kallio district for hipster bars; Ateljee Bar rooftop.
