Edinburgh to Helsinki
Say “soraidh” (farewell) to Auld Reekie and get set to shout “Haloo!” to the Finnish capital when you fly from Edinburgh to Helsinki.
While the Scottish capital is known for the striking Edinburgh Castle, Helsinki boasts the awesome sea fortress of Suomenlinna. After stepping back in time with a stroll along Edinburgh’s Royal Mile and a walk around the Old Town, jump back to the present in modern and innovative Helsinki, named the World Design Capital in 2012.
In August, Edinburgh hosts the Edinburgh Military Tattoo and the Edinburgh Festival, while Helsinki Festival is a summertime highlight in Finland.
Switch haggis for reindeer and Scotch whisky for Finnish vodka, and enjoy discovering the differences and similarities between the two northern European cities.
When it comes to temperatures and weather, Helsinki and Edinburgh are almost on a par. Packing for your trip is easy and you can disembark your Edinburgh to Helsinki flight already suitably dressed.
