Lovely Helsinki, the "Daughter of the Baltic" is Finland's capital and a wonderful destination for art, architecture and design. From one of Tour Designs' city center hotels, enjoy the ease of seeing this city on foot-explore the busy Harbor Market, then to neoclassical Senate Square to view the stately Cathedral. From Saarinen's railway station (from which trains to Moscow and St. Petersburg depart) to the Sibelius Monument, Temppeliaukio ("Rock") Church, the New Finnish State Opera House, and Finnish design stores, Helsinki has so much to see, do and buy.

Make sure you take a tour with one of Tour Designs' professional guides, to fully learn of Finland's fascinating history and relationship with its eastern neighbor. Visit the harbor islands, or head out of town to Turku or Tampere. Once you have fully explored Helsinki and Finland, the city's ports have frequent ferry and hydrofoil connections to Tallinn, Estonia and Stockholm, Sweden.
