The stunning city of Helsinki is a wonder to behold, especially during the beautiful winter season. The natural landscape and the coastline is a picturesque sight to see, and while the clear blue skies provide a stark backdrop to the snow-covered historic attractions, it is always better to travel indoors and avoid the cold. Visit Helsinki at any time of the year, but don’t forget to grab a bite or two at the best bakeries in the city.
