It's time for a break and Kaartinkaupunki, a neighbourhood in Helsinki, is yelling your name. One of the best things about travelling is the people you meet along the way. And with 550,000 locals calling the capital of Finland home, there's plenty of opportunities to gain some new BFFs. After hitting the tarmac and picking up your bags at Vantaa Airport, your taxi will head 17 kilometres south to get to Kaartinkaupunki. From the city's centre, it's a distance of 0.6 kilometres to the southeast.
With plenty of the city's leading attractions nearby, Kaartinkaupunki is a sightseer's paradise. From Presidential Palace to the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, you aren't going to run out of things to keep you on the move. After taking a look at those, you're going to want to head onwards to the Ateneum Art Museum and Senate Square. For a better perspective of this vibrant city as a whole, visit the close-by neighbourhoods of Helsinki and Punavuori.
You'll never be deprived of things to do in the centre of the city. The Finlandia Hall and Helsinki Cathedral will keep you busy for hours. Alternatively, take a look around the National Museum and Uspenski Cathedral.
Stop at some cultural attractions to gain a deeper understanding of the area. The Helsinki Street, the Finnish Museum of Photography, the Tennispalatsi Finnkino Cinema and the Korjaamo Cultural Factory come highly recommended.
While you can see a lot of art on your computer these days, there's nothing better than observing the real thing. Explore the region's creative side at the Design Museum, the Helsinki City Museum, the Sinebrychoff Art Museum and the Museum of Foreign Art.
Ask about any special events that might be scheduled before heading on over to peruse the displays and exhibits at the Military Museum of Finland, the Submarine Vesikko, the Museum of Finnish Architecture and the Mannerheim House Museum.
The mark of a great show is often the amount of applause when it's finished. Watch the audience rise to their feet at Helsinki Music Centre, the Swedish Theatre, Finnish National Opera and the National Theater.
Kids are often excellent travel mates, especially if you go to the right attractions! For an entertaining family day out, visit the Helsinki City Library, the Maxim Finnkino Cinema, the Kinopalatsi Finnkino Cinema and the Kinopalatsi Movie Theater Complex.
Are you travelling with the little ones but lost for ideas of things to keep them entertained? Linnanmaki Amusement Park, the Helsinki Sky Wheel, Linnanmäki & Sea Life and Allas Sea Pool are some nearby attractions the whole family can enjoy.
If you enjoy spending time in Mother Nature, you should check out Seurasaari Island, Toolo Bay and Kaunissaari Island.
Grab your camera and discover the close-by nature reserves, such as the Kaisaniemen Kasvitieteellinen Puutarha and the Kaisaniemi Botanical Garden.
If the liveliness of city life is wearing you out, head to one of the nearby local parks. Winter Garden, Meilahden Arboretum, Sibelisu Park and Kaivopuisto Park are great spots to take some time out.
The shopping experience is unique to everyone. Whether you already have something in mind or you're planning a shopping spree, you'll have a great time at Stockmann, Iittala Outlet Arabia, Kamppi Center and Kauppahalli.
Seurasaari Open Air Museum, Suomenlinna Fortress, the University of Helsinki and Parliament Building can give you a glimpse back into the past.
St. John's Church, Kallio Church, Temppeliaukio Church and Old Church of Helsinki offer travellers a great chance to discover the region's religious side.
There's no more entertaining way to add a touch of adrenaline to your trip than by heading to a live match at Hartwall Arena. The site also offers a backstage tour where you'll be able to follow in the footsteps of Jokerit players and picture what it would be like to hear the crowd shouting out your name.
You don't need to break the bank to have a restful night's sleep in Kaartinkaupunki. The Hostel Domus Academica, located at Hietaniemenkatu 14, and the Eurohostel, at Linnankatu 9, are both comfortable and cheap as chips. But if you'd rather live like royalty while you're here, the Hotel Haven or the Hotel Kamp may be more up your alley. Just sit back, relax and let the friendly staff do what they do best.
