Want to soak up the Nordic atmosphere? A three-day trip to Helsinki will give you everything you need.
Helsinki can be reached comfortably in a short two-hour flight. But if you're looking for more adventure, you can take a car or camper van. However, this is only recommended if you have Helsinki on the way as part of a longer holiday. For a long weekend, this would not be the most convenient option.

<p>Malé soběstačné domky, které se nacházejí přímo u moře, postavené na skalách, odkud máte výhled pouze na projíždějící lodě. Je to ideální místo pro odpočinek, kde si můžete vychutnat klid a krásu okolní přírody.</p>

<p>Moderní apartmány s pobočkami hlavně v severských státech, ale i Anglii a dalších. Nejvíce nás na něm baví zákaznická zkušenost a také dárky, které si z pobytu z dané destinace můžete odvézt (pohledy, nálepky, tašku na nákupy a další).</p>

Although this trip to Helsinki, we start a little unconventionally - in its surroundings, where you can relax in nature. Upon arrival, you'll leave the hustle and bustle of the capital and head to the quiet outskirts of Helsinki, where a pleasant environment and relaxation in the heart of nature awaits you.
From the airport, it’s easiest to take the train directly to Helsinki Central Station in the centre of Helsinki (costing €4.10 per person). The main station is a key point for your onward journey, whether you’re continuing on to different parts of the city or returning here on your departure.
20.0 km (29 mins)
On the way, stop at one of the convenience stores and buy something to eat for the evening and for breakfast. You’ll have everything you need on hand without having to find a restaurant in the evening. Either directly at the main station or across the street at the shopping centre.
TIP: For a leisurely way around the city, buy a 3-day ticket for 18 euros per person.
From Central Station, take the M1 or M2 metro line to Herrtoniemi station. From there, change to a bus that will take you to the Hevossalmentie stop – from there you walk to the tiny houses of the majamaja (the route is marked with signs directly from the majamaja).
Thanks to this accommodation, you can comfortably experience how well the local public transport works on your first day.
11.7 km (31 mins)
From the bus it is only a short walk to the tiny house. You will quickly feel at home and easily get in the mood for relaxation.
Small self-contained houses located right by the sea, built on the rocks, from where you can only see the passing boats. It is an ideal place to relax, where you can enjoy the peace and beauty of the surrounding nature. In addition, it is a great base for walks along the coast, where you can fully enjoy Finnish nature in its purest form.
Tiny houses majamaja are small retreats by the water, where you will be surrounded by the calm and the sound of the sea. Although the flight to Helsinki is relatively short, the first day is ideal to spend in peace and recharge your batteries for the following days of urban exploration.
The surrounding area offers beautiful places to walk along the coast, so don’t be afraid to relax and explore the nature around Helsinki.
