City breaks in Helsinki, Finland with Regent Holidays

Helsinki City Breaks - Finland 2008

3 night city breaks in Helsinki from £360 per person including flights.

Helsinki is a city based around the water. Its very heart is the thriving market on the harbour front. From here, you can set sail for many of the tranquil islands, or perhaps visit the island zoo or even dine in the former Russian yacht club, set tantalisingly close the show, but don't miss the last boat back. The massive dome of the cathedral makes an impressive back drop whether arrive or departing by sea. Grand, classical architecture reflects the city's significant past and innovative, modern buildings reflect its current optimism. Snow, bright lights and enticing shop windows give short winter days a festive feel and the sharp, clear light of long summer days discourages sleep in favour of more exciting occupations!

Regent recommends... taking a day trip to Porvoo, located 50 kilometres east of Helsinki. The red ochre huts, cobblestone streets and idyllic courtyards make Porvoo a worthwhile trip all year round. Lovers of antiques, architecture, arts and handicrafts will certainly enjoy themselves, as lots of small-scale events are organised, such as the Christmas markets in December. Porvoo can be reached by either bus or taking a boat from the market square.
