Helsinki prides itself on its wonderful design: on a grand scale, the town's architecture ranges from the Neo-classical to the Modern. On a more personal scale, hours could be spent browsing through department stores, admiring stylish and innovative Finnish-designed goods.One of city's top tourist attractions is Suomenlinna, which was once a fortress but today is home to museums, galleries, parks and restaurants. The arts are well served in Helsinki, with a new Opera House and a museum of contemporary arts - Kiasma - having recently opened. ,
