Why Helsinki?
Helsinki is a calm and thoughtful Nordic capital where the city meets the sea. Built across islands and surrounded by forests, it offers experiences rooted in nature, design, and everyday local culture. From coastal walks and island excursions to creative neighborhoods and cultural spaces, Helsinki invites travelers to slow down and explore responsibly. At YOVU, we curate experiences that are locally led, low-impact, and connected to the people who shape the city.
