About this book

Berlitz Pocket Guide Helsinki is a concise, full-colour travel guide that combines lively text with vivid photography to highlight the very best that this vibrant, modern city has to offer.

The Where To Go chapter details all the key sights, from the entertainment district to the cathedral, taking in colourful markets, first-rate museums and galleries, the historic Suomenlinna Fortress and dignified state architecture. There are also excursions to nearby Porvoo, Tampere and across the water to Tallinn, the Estonian capital.

To inspire you, the book offers a rundown of the Top 10 Attractions in the city, followed by an itinerary for a Perfect Day in Helsinki. The What to Do chapter is a snapshot of ways to spend your spare time, from shopping for colourful Spectrolite jewellery to catching a hockey game, Finland's favourite sport.

You'll also be armed with background information, including a brief history of the city and an Eating Out chapter covering its adventurous cuisine. There are carefully chosen listings of the best hotels and restaurants, and an A-Z to equip you with all the practical information you will need.

Recommended Hotels
Hotels in Helsinki are a homogenous bunch of comfortable, unremarkable chain hotels. Most of them lie within a broad stripe sweeping from Senate Square west to the end of Bulevardi. A further handful are dotted here and there off Mannerheimintie, and the quiet residential Katajanokka district holds another clutch. Another couple lie behind the cathedral and near Hakaniemi Market. Most hotels are within easy walking distance, or at the very most a 15-minute bus- or tram-ride, from the city centre.
Helsinki is so small that there is no special benefit to staying in one area or another, apart from personal preference. Would you like your surroundings to be neoclassical or Jugendstil? Would you prefer a sea view or one of Töölönlahti Bay?
Hotels are listed below first by area, in the order covered in the Where to Go chapter, and then alphabetically.
Approximate prices for a double room in high season:
