These are the best hotels in Helsinki, based on all the times we visit the best capital in Northern Europe. We have been to Helsinki a lot of times since we start Fotostrasse, and we had the pleasure of staying in different places across town.

You can find the Radisson Blu Seaside in the beautiful area of Helsinki known as Ruoholahti district.
