Helsinki Guide

Helsinki (Helsingfors in Swedish (listen (help·info)) or Helsset in Sámi, also called "Stadi" in local slang, is the capital of Finland. It is located in the southern part of Finland on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, at 60°10'N 24°56'E. The population of Helsinki is about 560,000. Helsinki forms a conurbation with three other cities, Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen, which are together called the capital area. This area has about 975,000 citizens. The Greater Helsinki area contains many more municipalities and has a total population of 1,232,741 (2004).

Helsinki spreads around a number of bays and peninsulas and over a number of islands. Some of the most important islands include Seurasaari, Lauttasaari and Korkeasaari – which is also the country's biggest zoo – as well as the fortress island of Suomenlinna (Sveaborg) and the military island of Santahamina.

Helsinki is also known for its active ICT and digital cultures scene in Greater Helsinki.
