A
HIGH-TECH CITY WHERE
CULTURE MEETS NATURE
Helsinki,
the capital of Finland,
is the country's administrative
centre and economic
hub. The high standards
of university education
and research in the
city are respected everywhere.
It is a lively and pleasant
place, where advanced
technology lives in
harmony with deeply-rooted
ecological thinking
and closeness to nature.
The city's geographical
location on the interface
between East and West
has meant that influences
from both cultural spheres
have shaped its life
and character. That
can be seen even in
the street scene, where
variety of architectural
styles from Neo-classical
through Art Nouveau
to Modernism reflect
the various phases of
the city's history.
