Helsinki is the capital and largest city in Finland. Located on the south coast and has about 560,000 inhabitants. I must say that we face one of Europe's most modern capital cities, being a young city, vibrant and fun.
What
Helsinki offers visitors varies depending on time of year. We will see in the warmer season (April-October) because winter temperatures are very low, reaching -10 degrees often.
The best way to get to Helsinki is via airplane, but probably if you go with a cheap company, will be difficult to drop you at the nearest airport to the city. If you are from Tallinn, it is best to take one of the many ferries that link the two capitals and it will take between 3.30hy 1:30 a.m., depending on what you're willing to pay. If I advise you have time you pick one that makes the trip at night and there is a terrible party with drink very cheap, in fact many Finns make that journey just for the party.
This city can be fully aware of walking, since its length is not too large. The most important places to visit are the cathedral, Lutheran (pictured) and Orthodox Temppeliaukio church built inside a rock, the islands around the city and the Sibelius Monument. If you have the chance, I advise you to climb the tower to the Olympic Stadium, where for 2 € you can enjoy excellent views across the city.
To sleep, the cheapest hostel in the city is located in the Olympic Stadium, where you can spend the night for 16 €. The downside of this accommodation is that it is a bit far from downtown, so if you have some more money I advise you to stay a little more central, close to the station if possible.
On the night, I must say that out is quite expensive. Typically in pubs pint of beer will not fall below 5 or 6 euros, but there are certain days, usually held weekly student parties in some pubs, where a pint of beer costs 1 €. These parties are known as "happy hours" and usually have in them a great environment for moderate prices.
Little more to say, only if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask it.
Greetings.
