Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
There's a dearth of cheap accommodation in Helsinki. From mid-May to mid-August
bookings are strongly advisable, although July's a quieter time for midrange and top-end
hotels.
The Sokos ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; www.sokoshotels.fi ) and Scandic
( www.scandichotels.com ) chains have several business hotels in the city centre, and other
multinationals are present.
HOME IN HELSINKI
Ideal for families, apartment-rental options range from one-room studios to expansive
multi-room affairs. Often you'll get use of a sauna, parking area and other facilities. The
longer you stay the cheaper rates get, with deals for weekly and monthly stays.
Apartments are located throughout the city. Recommended agents:
