The capital of Finland is a major cultural, educational and scientific center of the country. Together with the suburbs, Helsinki is a region with a population of over a million people. Various reputable ratings place it in the top 5 best cities in the world, it is considered one of the safest to live in and is recommended as a popular tourist route to take.
Main gate
The country's international airport in the Helsinki suburb of Vantaa is not the only attraction of the capital's satellite. The main reason for the influx of tourists is the Eureka Science Center and Museum located in Vantaa, opened in the late 80s of the last century.
More than a hundred exhibits demonstrate physical laws and scientific experiments in Eureka. Among them are the most elementary ones, familiar to any high school student, and especially complex ones, for which no explanation has yet been found. Any visitor to the museum can easily take part in the experiment.
The three pavilions and the Eureka Science Park are extremely popular with curious tourists of all ages. Children enjoy doing laboratory research and watching rats playing basketball. Guests of the complex can see the flying carpet with their own eyes or lift the car into the air using ordinary ropes.
Uniting people
Cell phones, without which it is difficult to imagine a modern person, are produced by the Finnish subsidiary of Microsoft, based in the Helsinki suburb of Espoo. The large satellite city of the capital is also famous for its sporting achievements. Espoo is home to famous racers, figure skaters and hockey players.
Among the architectural sights there is an ancient building of the temple, built in the 15th century, which today serves as a platform for organ concerts.
Fans of outdoor activities and tourists with children willingly visit the local Serena water park. A variety of water activities are organized at a high technical level in this suburb of Helsinki. Slides and caves, the effects of waves and saunas for children and their parents do not leave anyone indifferent, and the most fearless and dexterous prefer a halfpipe or a descent on inflatable cushions along the seething water stream.
In the summer, the water park is open daily, and in the autumn-winter period it awaits visitors on Saturdays and Sundays.
