Travelling in Helsinki with a Rental Car

A city which features both old and new, Helsinki is a highly popular destination for all varieties of travellers. Here you will find historic architecture and great art collections, alongside modern design, as well as cutting edge technology. Helsinki is a city that truly has it all. A great way to begin your visit is by heading to the Helsinki City Museum, which is housed in a number of buildings around the city. To see the highlight, park your rental car near the city centre and explore Sofiankatu, a small street which has been restored to how it was in the 1930s, a great example of how the city once was.

Not far from here you can also visit the Ateneum Art Museum, the largest of its kind in Finland. With great collections of paintings and sculptures, the museum is a must for any art lover visiting Helsinki. Drive your hire car a short distance west of here, where you will find one of the city's most famous attractions, Temppeliaukion Kirkko, the Church in the Rock. Built in the 1960's, the huge church is carved out of solid rock and truly is a spectacular site.

An interesting part of Helsinki which is highly recommended for a visit is known as Suomenlinna, and is an island just to the south of the city. Once a mighty fortress, the island has been preserved in remarkable condition and features fortifications, catacombs, and cannons. To visit here, simply park your rental car near the harbour and head across on a ferry, while enjoying the spectacular scenery from the water too.
