Find a cheap flight to Helsinki

It may be the world's second most northern capital, but its distant position doesn't mean that Helsinki is in any way isolated. The Helsinki-Vantaa Airport lies just 12 miles from the city center, and is the destination for approximately 120 international flights per day. Train connections stretch as far as Lapland, St. Petersburg and Moscow, or to nearby towns Porvoo, Espoo and Turku, Finland's former capital and gateway to the enchanting 'land Islands. Stunning architecture and an inexhaustible wealth of museums secure Helsinki's cultural quality, while it also boasts an unforgettable social experience thanks to friendly locals and a thriving nightlife. Helsinki's busy harbor and selection of parks are perfect for walks on a long summer day, but lovers of the outdoors can enjoy breathtaking scenery in any of the numerous forests and national parks nearby.

Finland offers much for the active holiday maker, with camping, water sports and walking all on offer not only in Helsinki, but also in other lesser known but equally picturesque parts of the country. However there is just as much choice for those looking to get away from a hectic lifestyle, as summer cottages, wood smoked saunas and quaint and quiet cafés are also in abundance. A sight to amaze any traveler is the Northern Lights, which can seen on numerous occasions in Northern Finland, and can sometimes even be glimpsed in the south. Finland combines both chic modernity and rustic tradition in a beautifully preserved natural setting, and Helsinki is the perfect starting point for discovering this northern gem.
