New flight route from Manchester to Helsinki with easyJet
24/03/2010With easyJet's new flight route from Manchester to Helsinki soon to depart on 28th March, Northerners now have the perfect excuse to embark on a stylish city break to Helsinki or venture further afield to discover the ancient town of Porvoo, the Ekenas Archipelago or enjoy the last of the snowfall in Lapland.
Set on the sea, Helsinki is an exciting and dynamic capital offering the best in design, museums, history, culture and chic sophistication. In winter, landing in Helsinki is a spectacular sight with the ice-covered harbour playing host to Nordic walkers with poles in hand darting across the frozen waters. In summer, there is a happy outdoor culture with leafy promenades and sunny open spaces that can be enjoyed in almost 24 hours of sunlight.
Helsinki has recently been voted the third World Design Capital for 2012 and design aficionados will not be left disappointed. Helsinki's Design District is a creative hub in the centre of the city spreading over 25 streets and featuring over 170 points of design interest from fashion boutiques such as the well known Marimekko to heavyweight furniture and design emporiums including Artek and national glass designer Iittala.
For maritime buffs or water lovers, Suomenlinna is one of the world's largest historical maritime fortresses built on six islands in the 1700's to protect the Eastern part of the empire against Russian attack. Today Suomenlinna is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is just a fifteen minute ferry ride from Helsinki's Market Square. Once there, guided walking tours are available but many Finns prefer to simply pack up a picnic and find a quiet spot on one of the islands from which to enjoy.
