The most beautiful natural sites to discover Helsinki

Sandy beaches, a seaside restaurant that serves smoked fish, family and relaxed atmosphere. Petit Deauville swimming huts with its colourful changed. Ideal for swimming in summer, opposite the large ferries to the neighbouring countries. You can also walk along the cliff and collect bays or mushrooms in the forests of the island.

Just a stone's throw from Suomenlinna, Lonna is a pretty little island just reopened to the public, a former Russian mine-reserve area, then a mine-clearing area. There is already a small café and a summer restaurant there, but the idea is to create a new urban space where events and other initiatives can take place. A nice getaway on the way to the fortress island. It is easy to get around on foot, the island is very small. It is also a nice place for a picnic break on a sunny summer day with friends or family.

Beach east of Helsinki, in Vuosaari. Very pleasant for swimming or a picnic.

The Kaisaniemi Botanical Garden is one of the most popular tourist attractions. After extensive restoration work, the greenhouses will bring nature lovers a tropical breeze away from city life. In the Palm House, visitors can see an impressive collection of orchids. The outdoor garden invites you to discover the world of plants. In summer, the most attractive part of the grounds is the central garden, with ponds and flowers, bordered by rose bushes.
