Helsinki keeps a big secret--and travelers are only now beginning to realize just how much the city has to offer. With a strategic archipelago location, surrounded by the Baltic Sea, the city's cool urban lifestyle mixes seamlessly with its prominent Russian history. Mooch around the numerous museums and galleries, enjoy a classical opera, or join the in-crowd on a tour of the most stylish restaurants, bars, and clubs. Or, for the more adventurous, why not try an invigorating burst of ice-swimming or cross-country skiing? And no matter what time of year it is, no trip would be complete without indulging in the true Finnish passion, a traditional sauna.

Features include:

*The best restaurants, cafes, bars, and clubs

*Where to stay, from luxury to budget

*Full coverage of the sights including walking tours and excursions from the city

*A guide to Finnish sauna history and etiquette

*An introduction to the Finnish language

Dinky book fits in pocket.

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2008

I was expecting something larger with better maps, but still this pocket-size book is filled with fascinating, up-to-date information. I had last visited Helsinki in 1974, so I was surprised to see how the country has changed. I found references to many valuable Finnish websites that expand on what's found in this book. The book is also valuable in informing how much money (Euros!) it costs to visit. Overall, the book decreased my pre-trip anxieties about visiting a foreign country.

Incomplete information

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2010

I really wanted to like this guide. It is compact and easy to carry. Unfortunately the maps are incomplete, with very few of the streets named. Many museums in the city were not included. Information on sites and history seemed to be accurate, but locations were not indicated. I finally gave up and used the far superior information provided by the information desk at the airport and the hotel in Helsinki.

Big help to study ahead of time, before making the trip to Helsinki, and share suggestions with friends as where to go and what to see while there.

I love the Bradt guide series and am so glad she has branched out to the more popluated cities and countries. No guide has the info that a Bradt guide does.

Inconvenient for a Quick Trip

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2010

This guide is very difficult to use for a day of sightseeing in Helsinki. The one city map is split between the pages in a confusing piecemeal format. The museum hours were not always correct, and it was sometimes difficult to find information. The history and background information about the Helsinki and its sights was useful and informative. Still, if you want a user-friendly guide that will actually help you get around the city, look elsewhere.

Not bad at all

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 4, 2010

Verified Purchase

This guide is really well-written. There are extensive chapters on the history of Helsinki, the food, culture, people, language, the works. In some respects, the actual "sights section is a little thin in comparison, but it does the job and highlights some things that are otherwise little-known. The only gripe would be the maps - they really could be better, but it wasn't a hindrance.
