Helsinki attracts a vast number of Finnish and international travelers annually, resulting in significant benefits for a diverse array of businesses. The city actively collaborates with tourism enterprises, fostering a supportive environment and facilitating valuable networking opportunities. Together, Helsinki and these businesses work diligently to shape the city into an enticing, secure, and sustainable destination for all visitors.
Both locals and tourists are welcome to the Helsinki Tourist Information! The information staff provides free information and inspiration about the city, main attractions, events, and services.
