Helsinki, Finland

Helsinki is small for a European capital, but its history and Finnish spirit are larger than life. This elegant city is known as the “White City of the North” for its neoclassical beauty and Art Nouveau grace. Arts, politics and education converge in Senate Square, a wide-open space surrounded by the University of Helsinki and the Government Palace. But the square’s—and perhaps the city’s—centerpiece is the magnificent Helsinki Cathedral. Its colonnaded entrances echo ancient Greece and its green domes recall grand old Russia.
