Things To Do
Welcome to Helsinki!
Helsinki is a compact city where most attractions can be reached on foot, meaning getting around town is easy. If you prefer, you can explore the city by bike, tram, metro or bus.
The cityscape in Helsinki combines elements of Neoclassicism, Art Nouveau, Alvar Aalto and contemporary design, offering a fascinating look at the changing architectural styles of past centuries.
Hilton Helsinki Strand is located near the city center, only a short walk from the main attractions. Explore the enchanting neighborhoods around our hotel, like Hakaniemi Market Square and Market Hall, and the lively Kallio district, which features small street level shops, bars and restaurants.
The city is lined with almost 130km of shoreline and has over 300 islands, many of which are accessible to visitors.
