We are not ashamed to confess that we have a city crush on Helsinki. Cozy in winter, with its warming saunas and restaurants for long, relaxed meals, and glorious in summer, when nearby islands in the Baltic offer easy escape.

This guide will lead you to all of the above and more, with 37 carefully selected suggestions that are sure to make anyone fall for Helsinki.

Herb Lester’s unique guides steer visitors towards the unusual, the underrated, the hip, the historic. 

They make their travel guides the old-fashioned way:  They write and research in-house or with the assistance of trusted locals, reading old guide books and welcoming the opportunity to revive old friendships in far-flung locales in the quest for on-the-ground knowledge.

This is a time-consuming and costly process, for which they accept no advertising and no free meals.  However, if the opportunity arises, they are glad of assistance with places to stay, since they do not cover hotels in their publications. All this means that what they include are the places and things they like and feel deserve your attention.

This is a slower and more costly process than digital printing, but the difference in quality makes it worthwhile.
