Welcome in Finlande
For many people, flying direct from Nice to Helsinki in just over three hours can feel like a shock to the system: especially the temperature! In fact, along with Reykjavik in Iceland, Helsinki is the world’s northernmost capital. So temperature-wise it’s no French Riviera! But that’s the reason we travel: to experience different things! And there’s no doubt about it: a Nice-Helsinki plane ticket guarantees a total change of scene. With its architecture, its gastronomy and its famous saunas, the Finnish city offers a truly unique experience… not to mention an unforgettable one!

What to do in
Helsinki ?
Point de passage obligé de tout visiteur d’Helsinki : le sauna. Vous n’y couperez pas ! C’est une institution, au point que la plupart des Finnois en ont un chez eux. Rassurez-vous : il existe aussi des établissements publics. Détendu par ce bain de vapeur, vous n’en apprécierez que davantage votre visite dans la capitale finlandaise. Avec ses 600 000 habitants, la ville est loin d’être une mégalopole. Sa découverte se fait donc à pied (ou en métro et tramway si vous êtes frileux !), le plus sûr moyen d’apprécier le charme de ses quartiers, leur architecture de caractère et l’originalité de leurs boutiques. Mais ce n’est pas à pied, ni même à la nage, mais en ferry que vous gagnerez les petites îles alentours. Et oui, Helsinki est un archipel ! Un voyage à l’intérieur du voyage !
