Finland in Spring
_917-Secondary.jpg "By Visit Finland")
Helsinki, one our favourite capitals, is the ideal starting point for a spring break in Finland. Depending on where you go in this long country, you can have spring or more winter. In the south, visit Turku, once the capital and academic centre, and spring arrives in March. Head north and people are stil skiing in May.
Turku sits astride the Aura River and was established in the 13th century. Its castle and cathedral are famous sites. If the weather is kind, you can enjoy the city from one of the many riverside cafes. Finns also claim that the best looking people come from Turku.
Helsinki was chosen as the capital in order to distance the main administrative centre from Sweden, the ruler of Finland, until the country was lost to Russia in 1809. Noted for its fine architecture and working harbour, Helsinki is a great walking city. Hotels are comfortable and restaurants plentiful. Again, if the weather favours you, there will be pop-up cafes on the harbourside and you can even stay in a converted prison. Walk along the harbour side and, if you keep going, they say you reach the Arctic Circle without leaving green country.
We know Finland and we will take you there.

More about Finland in Spring
Porvoo is one of Finland's mediaeval cities with a small cathedral dating back 800 years. Again, a river runs through this city and old warehouses, painted red, provide excellent shoppiing and dining opportunities. This is where the Diet of Porvoo declared Finland as a Grand Duchy within the Russian Empire. The throne where Tsar Alexander I sat is still in the city museum.
The national poet, J L Runeberg, came from Porvoo. You can eat cakes named in his honour and visit houses where he lived.
Just 50 kilometres from Helsinki, Porvoo makes an excellent day trip, as does Ainola, the home of Finland's national composer, Jean Sibeliius.
Everywhere has two names: in Finnish and in Swedish, but don't worry. Nearly everyone speaks English and the people are very welcoming.
