2. Visit of Hietaranta beach, the most iconic beach spot known from countless Finnish movies and tv series. In the beginning of the 20th century the remote area of Hietaniemi was being used as a landfill and was converted into an area for sand storage. In 1929, the locals adopted the area as a sand beach. Being close to the city centre, the beach is nowadays a popular summer destination for locals and tourists. It is also a popular place for outdoor training and beach volleyball. We take a walk around the beach and continue the tour afterwards.

About Helsinki

Helsinki is Finland's capital on the Baltic, a compact seaside city of neoclassical squares, Art Nouveau streets, design shops and saunas.

The white neoclassical Helsinki Cathedral looks down on Senate Square, and the red-brick Uspenski Cathedral stands on a rocky headland to the east. Carl Ludvig Engel planned the city centre in the early nineteenth century after Finland passed to Russia, and Art Nouveau houses line the streets of Katajanokka and Eira. The Market Square on the harbour front has stalls of fish, berries and crafts, with the Old Market Hall nearby.
