Description

Helsinki Self-Guided Walking Tour

Despite the fact that Helsinki is the youngest of the Nordic capitals, it does not mean it is an interesting historic city to walk around. Founded in the 16th century by a Swedish King, Helsinki didn’t see major development until it became the new capital of Finland after Finland came under Russian rule. The Russians brought over an architect, C.L. Engel, to design the city in a beautiful neoclassical style. On this walk, you’ll see some buildings from before Russian times, but many buildings are from the early 19th century boom.
