　　Alongside the harbour, this is Helsinki's iconic market hall. Built in 1888, it’s still a traditional Finnish market, with wooden stalls selling local flavours such as liquorice, Finnish cheeses, smoked salmon and herring, berries, forest mushrooms and herbs. Its centrepiece is its superb cafe, Story.

Must-see attractions

Wilderness Hotel Inari

　　Just outside town, this terrific lakeside place has a cosy feel in its tastefully decorated rooms and cabins, with some igloos as well. The decor features dark wood and reindeer skins and some rooms have glass ceilings for watching the aurora. The public areas have a similarly warm and welcoming...

Kastelholms Slott

　　One of Åland’s premier sights is this striking 14th-century castle on a picturesque inlet (signposted off Rd 2). The keep towers are 15m high in parts, with walls of 3m-thick red granite; it’s easy to see how it would once have ruled over Åland. Exhibits showcase the castle’s evolution and...

Serlachius Museum Gösta

　　Once the private home of Gösta Serlachius, this world-class art gallery is one of Finland's premier cultural attractions. Situated 2km east of Mänttä's town centre in an exquisitely maintained garden, it comprises two buildings: a spectacular 2014 wooden pavilion designed by Spanish architectural firm MX_SI showcasing Finnish and international temporary...

Hotelli Vanha Rauma

　　Once a warehouse in the old fish market, this is now the only hotel in the Old Town proper. Its 20 rooms embrace modern Scandinavian design, with lino flooring, leatherette chairs, flat-screen TV and views of the park or courtyard. Service is attentive, and the restaurant, SJ Nyyper, is well...

　　Rauma Museum encompasses four sites, the most interesting of which is Marela, the period-furnished home of a wealthy 19th-century merchant family. The home of a former seaman, Kirsti is a lovable collection of lopsided wooden buildings representing home life from different eras. The main building is the impressive 1776 Vanha...

Säynätsalon Kunnantalo

　　One of Aalto's most admired works, this town hall was conceived as a 'fortress of democracy' and constructed between 1949 and 1952. Its sturdy brick tower references the medieval palazzi communale (town halls) Aalto had admired in Italy, but the grassy inner courtyard bathes the interior with light and reflects...

　　Filled with speciality products, this historic covered market also contains the ininen Juna Aschan Café, in a converted-train carriage, run by top-quality Turku bakery chain Aschan. ...

　　This fantastic villa is considered one of the 20th century's architectural masterpieces and the pinnacle of Alvar Aalto's career. It is the former home of industrialists Harry and Maire Gullichsen, who were avid art collectors and tireless supporters of modern culture and social change. The house still contains the couple's...

Bomarsund Fästningsruin

　　Following the war of 1808–09, Russia began building this major military structure as its westernmost defence against the Swedes. The fortress was still incomplete when the Crimean War began in 1854, and a French-British naval force bombarded it heavily from the sea. Within four days the Russians were forced to...

Hossa National Park

　　Founded in 2017 to commemorate Finland's centenary of independence, the country's 40th national park stretches over 11,000 hectares of glittering lakes and dense forests. Highlights include Julma Ölkky, a 3km-long lake-filled canyon that narrows to just 10m wide; Öllön, a 40m-deep lake where scuba-diving will be possible; and Värikallio, a...

　　Finland's famous glass manufacturer – established in 1881 in the southern Finnish town of the same name and later shaped by Alvar Aalto – has a central outlet here on Pohjoisesplanadi, and an outlet at Arabiakeskus, 5km north of the city, which has a museum covering the brand. Along with...
