Welcome to Espoo/Helsinki !

  • Finland’s capital, Helsinki, is one of the most pleasant ones; it is surrounded by sea and green forests, its public transportation is efficient and convenient, it is pedestrian-friendly and cultural activities are abundant. The archipelago along Finland’s southern coast is magnificent. Some islands are no more than a rock and a bush; others are thickly forested. Channels and coves run in all directions.
  • The Helsinki metropolitan region has more than one million people – approximately one-fifth of the Finnish population. It has a vibrant cultural scene, leading scientific institutions, numerous governmental agencies, and the headquarters of many of Finland’s largest corporations.
  • Helsinki is known for its safe, smooth and high-quality conferences and meetings. Try us!
