Scandic
" Destination, Helsinki"

Welcome to Helsinki and Scandic

Experience a cosmopolitan atmosphere and exciting contrasts. Preserved functionalist buildings stand side by side with the very latest in design and architecture.

Helsinki, capital of Finland, is a city of contrasts, where East meets West, old meets new. Strolling through the city or on a ferry trip to Suomenlinna, you’ll come across traces of Helsinki’s colourful history. Today’s Helsinki is a modern European capital, internationally renowned for its architecture, design and state-of-the-art technology. Here, you can enjoy the latest trends, have a Finnish sauna, go on the world’s oldest rollercoaster and have an afternoon tango in a classic dancehall.

Attractions in Helsinki

Gateway Heureka
Staying at a Scandic puts you within comfortable reach of Helsinki’s range of culture, entertainment and shopping. Getting around the city is easy by tram, bus or just on foot. The Swedish Theatre, with its restaurant and opulent bar, crowns the city’s main street Pohjoisesplanadi. Don’t miss Kiasma – the museum of contemporary art, Linnanmäki amusement park and the Glass Palace – a preserved functionalist building that now houses restaurants and cinemas.

Architecture and design

Continental Helsinki Sibelius Monument
Finnish design has a good reputation internationally, and Helsinki is an important centre of architecture and design. This makes Helsinki the ideal choice for those who want to gorge themselves on top design. The city has studios, boutiques, buildings, galleries and museums offering the best from yesterday’s and today’s trendsetters. You’ll come across names such as Alvar Aalto, Eliel Saarinen, Kaj Franck, Marimekko, Iittala and Ivana Helsinki.

Food and beverage

" Makasiini Restaurant, table set up"
Helsinki has a wide and interesting range of restaurants – in fact, over 800 restaurants serving Finnish cuisine, Russian cuisine and much more. The HelsinkiMenu was launched during the city’s time as European City of Culture in 2000, and has become popular with visitors and locals alike. The menus are based on seasonal dishes composed of local ingredients at reasonable prices. Many good restaurants participate and every one has its own interpretation of the HelsinkiMenu. Between May and August, you can take the Spårakoff Tram around Helsinki for a pub and sightseeing in one.
