Helsinki, Finland Walking Tour 4k – With Captions

We recorded this 4k ultra hd video during our trip to Helsinki, Finland on July 2024.
Welcome to Helsinki, the vibrant capital of Finland, beautifully situated on the shores of the Baltic Sea. Known as the "Daughter of the Baltic," Helsinki is a city of striking architecture, innovative design, and a deep connection to nature. With a population of around 675,000 in the city proper, Helsinki is Finland's largest urban centre and its political, educational, financial, cultural, and research hub. Finland is part of the European Union, and the currency used is the Euro (€). The official languages are Finnish and Swedish, but English is very widely spoken.
Founded by King Gustav I of Sweden in 1550, Helsinki became the capital of the Grand Duchy of Finland under Russian rule in 1812. This era heavily influenced its neoclassical city centre. Finland declared independence in 1917, with Helsinki as its capital. The city is renowned for its high quality of life, functional design, and numerous green spaces.
In fact, for many years running, Finland has consistently been ranked as the happiest country in the world, reflecting its strong social fabric and quality of life. The nation is also globally recognized for its top-tier education system, emphasizing equity, student well-being, and innovative teaching methods. Furthermore, Finland is known for its high levels of safety, social equality, a deep appreciation for nature, and significant contributions to technology and design.
Helsinki has excellent public transport (trams, metro, buses, ferries). Consider a day ticket or Helsinki Card for easy travel. Don't miss trying local Finnish food like salmon soup (lohikeitto), Karelian pies (karjalanpiirakka), or a sweet cinnamon bun (korvapuusti). And perhaps experience a traditional Finnish sauna!
