Helsinki - General Info
Description:
Helsinki maintains a small-town feel; there are no high-rise buildings and the market square is still surrounded by 19th-century architecture. It is unlike any other Finnish city, due in part to the fascinating combination of Swedish and Russian influences.
Position:
60° 10.14’N, 24° 58.94’E (harbour entrance)
