Review:
Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is located on the country's southern coast on a small peninsula in the Gulf of Finland. Visitors to Helsinki can take a stroll down the Mannerheimintie, the city's main street, which is lined with many cultural and fun attractions. There's the Finnish Parliament House, the National Museum, where guests can learn about Finland's history as far back as the Stone Age, and the Kiasma, a modern art museum. In Helsinki, visitors can also find Uspenski Cathedral, a red brick structure that was built in the 19th century and sits at the edge of the city's harbor. Helsinki is a great home base for a holiday in Finland, with many other towns and cities in easy distance for a day trip.
