The world's happiest people live in Finland, according to many surveys. So let's take a look at Helsinki to find out what's going on here. Why are these people so happy?
They will say it's more a matter of being content, being satisfied with their lives rather than giddy, ha-ha happy all the time and that's because their society functions very well.
You will find many comments down below that debate this issue, many from locals with a different opinion about happiness here.
One correction on taxation, I mentioned income tax is 57%, but this is only for the multi-millionaires. Normal income tax is like most other European countries, 25-30%.
The economy is strong, the educational levels are high, there is a decent level of economic equality, and the society provides services such as health and medical, retirement pensions, and cleaning up the cities and maintaining the infrastructure that makes everything work beautifully together. So the residents are very happy about all of that.
Another reason why their life is good is this city is a beautiful place. It has lovely buildings. It's nicely designed with plenty of sidewalk cafés and outdoor activities for those warm summer months, good streets, lots of bicycle paths, and pedestrian areas with enough urban density to provide those walkable neighborhoods and shops and cafés nearby, but it's not crowded.
Helsinki's town planners have created a livable city that was praised at one time by the Harvard Architectural Digest as the best-designed city in Europe.
July is an excellent time to visit because the weather is at its best. The city is not crowded, and hotel rates tend to drop. That's because July is the peak month for locals to take their vacations, either at their summer cottages in the Finnish countryside, or elsewhere in Europe, especially on the sunny beaches of the Mediterranean Sea.
Business travel also grinds to a halt in July, leaving hotels looking for customers and lowering their rates to attract the few remaining travelers. All of the scenes in this video were photographed during the month of July, which is when I always bring my groups to visit there. While I tell you a bit more about Helsinki and Finland, I'll continue showing some scenes of the city, focusing for now on Esplanade Park that most popular green space in the heart of town. During July temperatures are quite mild, usually in the 70s, so it does not get hot, because Helsinki is so far north, as nearly as high as Anchorage, Alaska. At the peak of summer you get 20 hours of sunshine. There will still be plenty of locals in town for you to mingle with, if you so choose, and you'll find that most of them are friendly and fluent in English, and they like spending time outdoors on the streets, in the cafés and parks, enjoying that fleeting good weather.
You can imagine when there's 20 hours of sunshine in the middle of summer they truly enjoy taking advantage of the summer.
Although Helsinki is in a relatively remote position in northern Europe, it's easy to get here by flying, or many people come by ship, perhaps on a cruise of Scandinavia, or you can come here on a two-hour ferry ride from Tallin, Estonia.
Surprisingly, Finland is not part of Scandinavia, nor are they related ethically to the Slavic people of Russia, which borders them to the East. Instead, they are grouped with Scandinavia as Nordic cultures. Somehow the Finnish language is most closely related to Hungarian, although it's really not clear how this happened.
The two main ethnic groups in the country are Finnish and Swedish, so the country has two official languages, with many street signs labeled with both Finnish and Swedish.
Children begin their schooling in kindergarten and by age 9, they start foreign language training with French and German currently the most popular choices. English had been the number-one preference until Finland's entry into the European Union. At age 13, students who speak Finnish as their first language start learning Swedish, and vice a versa. By age 14. Most students begin learning a fourth language.
Thanks partly to the excellent education system, Finland has one of the strongest economies in the world.
Recently ranked as number-two for competitiveness and they're in the world's top 10 for good environmental policies.
Finland is the first country in the world to prepare plans for a National Circular Economy. Have you heard of that, Circular Economy? It's basically recycling, reusing, repairing, lower consumption, protecting the environment from climate change, pollution, waste and loss of biodiversity.
That's another reason why people here are so happy.

Helsinki
Helsinki (/ˈhɛlsɪŋki/ HEL-sink-ee or /hɛlˈsɪŋki/ (About this soundlisten) hel-SINK-ee, Finnish: [ˈhelsiŋki] (About this soundlisten); Swedish: Helsingfors [helsiŋˈforsː] (About this soundlisten)) is the capital and most populous city of Finland. Located on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, it is the seat of the region of Uusimaa in southern Finland, and has a population of 650,058. The city's urban area has a population of 1,268,296, making it by far the most populous urban area in Finland as well as the country's most important center for politics, education, finance, culture, and research. Helsinki is located 80 kilometres (50 mi) north of Tallinn, Estonia, 400 km (250 mi) east of Stockholm, Sweden, and 300 km (190 mi) west of Saint Petersburg, Russia. It has close historical ties with these three cities.
Together with the cities of Espoo, Vantaa, and Kauniainen, and surrounding commuter towns, Helsinki forms the Greater Helsinki metropolitan area, which has a population of nearly 1.5 million. Often considered to be Finland's only metropolis, it is the world's northernmost metro area with over one million people as well as the northernmost capital of an EU member state. After Stockholm and Oslo, Helsinki is the third largest municipality in the Nordic countries. The city is served by the international Helsinki Airport, located in the neighboring city of Vantaa, with frequent service to many destinations in Europe and Asia.
Helsinki was the World Design Capital for 2012, the venue for the 1952 Summer Olympics, and the host of the 52nd Eurovision Song Contest in 2007.
Helsinki has one of the highest urban standards of living in the world. In 2011, the British magazine Monocle ranked Helsinki the world's most liveable city in its liveable cities index. In the Economist Intelligence Unit's 2016 liveability survey, Helsinki was ranked ninth among 140 cities.

10:39 Old Market Hall
12:15 Senate Square
14:29 downtown
20:02 Suomenlinna
We are visiting the beautiful capital of Finland, Helsinki, with a look at my favorite top-five visitor attractions. Of course, there are many more things to see and do here,
Be sure to see our other Helsinki movie Esplanade Park and shopping district, Market Square with its food and crafts on the waterfront, number three, Senate Square with its historic buildings and cathedral, four, you'll want to do some shopping and people-watching in the vibrant downtown center. The streets here are mostly for locals. It can get pretty busy, but has a relaxed pace and authentic atmosphere. Finland is located between Scandinavia and Russia. And you'll see a lot of blond hair in this city, which is the second-most northerly capital in the world, after Ridgeview in Iceland, And rounding out our top-five activities -- It's fun to take a boat ride out to the nearby islands, including an old fortress called Suomenlinna where we'll get off the boat and take a walk around.
Helsinki's downtown is rather compact, making it quite easy to walk to each of our main sites in just a few minutes. we'll start out with the Esplanade, then the food market and Senate Square, saving the shopping and boat ride for later.
The Esplanade is one of those great city parks. In English, it's pronounced Esplanade. In Finnish, Esplanadi. But the locals just say espa, and it runs from the market and waterfront all the way to the busy commercial streets of town. There's beautiful greenery all around you, especially in the summertime, and you can bring your own food into the park if you like, have a picnic on the lawn.
And there's some very comfortable benches here. The park was designed in 1818 by Carl Engel, and it took a few decades to develop with extensive landfill and landscaping. You could even take a horse carriage ride, if you like, or just pet the horses. This park is very much the heart of town, and it's not just for tourists.
This is one of the favorite spots for locals to come and relax and enjoy the environment. There are many fine restaurants around the outside of the park, and an excellent choice inside, the famous Kapelli cafe. Kapelli has a dining terrace that faces a stage and outdoor performance area popular with musicians, and today, a gymnastics family, who also put on a performance with their trained cats. Can you believe that? Is it possible for cats to perform an orchestrated routine. Just watch. Well, yes.
The cats can jump through a hoop, climb a pole, fly through the air, jump into a basket with her young daughters supporting the action. It's very common to run into the street musicians playing rock or classical, all kinds of music. But to see a family performing with trained cats is most unusual. This video was photographed during several different tours, all of them in the month of July.
July is a great time to be here because the weather is very mild. It doesn't get hot or cold, and the town is not crowded because locals tend to leave to go on vacation. The streets on each side of Esplanade host a main concentration of stores selling Finnish-made goods such as wooden toys for the kids and Marimekko fabrics, especially along the North Esplanade. These shops are all noted for their world-famous Finish design, a sleek, modern functionalist look.
The Marimekko shop is part of the stylish Kamp Galleria. This upscale shopping mall, right in the middle of Helsinki, brings top international brands and high quality Finnish fashion designs, providing a luxurious shopping experience in this unique center.
The Finns are proud to be a major creative force in the development of the Scandinavian design movement, whose roots stretch back to the Art Nouveau period of the early 1900s and have continued evolving into our postmodern world.
There are several stylish restaurants on this block, including Brasserie Kemp, whose food philosophy is a combination of French cuisine and Finnish food culture. My friends enjoyed a deluxe seafood platter The restaurant is open for breakfast right through late dinner, located right along the Esplanade, with seating indoors and outside. Another popular and more casual restaurant here is the Cafe Strindberg.
Great spot for a pot of tea. Maybe some pastries or a light meal, perhaps sitting at an outdoor table watching the passing parade of people. At the top of the Esplanade there is an interesting restaurant complex, the territory, and includes the Theater Gril, Theater Bar, a Clock Bar, club and a deli. Walking back through the lower end of the Esplanade, which will bring us down to the food market at the South Harbor Market Square.

Visit Finland - 10 Things That Will SHOCK You About Finland
Finland or Suomi is the land of eternal sunshine in the summer, more lakes than you can imagine, and possibly the grossest candy on the planet? Finland is an amazing country to visit and whether it is the breathtaking nature, the kind yet quiet Finnish people, or the endless times you will visit the sauna there will always be things that may shock a tourist when they visit Finland.
10 Things That Shock Tourists about Visiting Finland
1. The Sauna Culture: Do expect to head into a sauna during your time in Finland. It is such a part of the culture that people have them built into their homes, and yes do expect to go naked and run out and jump into the snow for a little extra fun.
2. The Finns Can Talk While Inhaling: the Finns have so much to say when they do talk that they actually can talk while they exhale and while they inhale. Quite a sight when you see it for the first time.
3. The Natural Beauty of Finland: from the lakes and forests to the parks and islands Finland boasts a ton of nature and the locals love it. So whether it is skiing in Lapland or mushroom hunting or visiting the archipelago islands you will see so much beauty in Finland.
4. How Quiet the Finns Can Be: the Finns enjoy silence and you will see that in stores, on the street, and especially on public transportation. So do keep it down.
5. How Clean Finland Is: from pristine forests, to amazing clean and crisp air, to the locals having pride and keeping their cities and towns clean, Finns do love a clean country. Oh, and never wear your shoes in someones house.
6. Finnish Tasty Treats: Salmiakki is the child of black licorice and salt, and I mean that in the least tastiest way possible. The Finns love salmiakki candy (and Finland has a ton of great candy aside form Salmiakki). So be prepared for some great tasty treats, like their cinnamon rolls and anything made with mushrooms and do watch out for the funny ones.
7. How Difficult the Finnish Language Is: luckily for tourists most Finns speak very good English, so you do not need to speak any Finnish. The Finnish language is considered one of the most difficult languages to learn and when you see all those vowels you will understand why.
8. The Cities Have Two Names: in Finland, Finnish and Swedish are the two official languages and so all the signs on the highway are in Finnish and Swedish. This can lead to a bit of confusion when the cities don't have similar names in both languages, for example Turku is Turku in English and Finnish, but Abo in Swedish.
9. Finnish Logic: for as smart and clever as the Finns are some foreigners sometimes get lost in Finnish logic. When you see something around the country that just doesn't quite make sense, just chalk it up to Finnish logic.
10. You Have to Go to a Government Store to Buy Hard Alcohol: if you want to grab a bottle of Finlandia Vodka in Helsinki you can't just head to the local grocery store. You have to go to Alko, the government run liquor store. The prices are high and the hours are strange, but it is the only place to go.

Helsinki - Travel Guide to Finland's Cool Capital (Art, Architecture and Great Coffee)
Filmed in January 2020, enjoy the cultural highlights of a two day visit to this stylish city on the Baltic Sea.
Arriving by boat the Finnish capital welcomes you with a skyline of two fabulous cathedrals that appear more Russian than Nordic. However, the architecture of the Lutheran and Orthodox cathedrals makes perfect sense as the two edifices were built during the time that the Grand Duchy of Finland was part of the Russian empire. However, magnificent though they are, for me the attraction of Helsinki is the cool retro-vibe supplied by the integration of 50’s styled neon, flourishes of art nouveau, and striking contemporary architecture; not to mention the effortless style of the Finns themselves. The compact size of the city centre promotes walking and there are visual delights to be had at every street corner. When the cold bites, or the rain becomes too intense then the artwork continues in the numerous galleries. I was delighted to recognise some of the Finnish masterpieces in the Ateneum that I had bought postcards of during my first visit almost 30 years previously. However, it was a tiny self-portrait that took my breath away with its intensity. I knew nothing of the artist Ellen Thesleff at the time. I now know that she is recognised as one of Finland’s foremost modernist painters. I was able to satisfy more of my curiosity at the gallery’s gift shop and was then fortunate enough to see a further retrospective later that day at the Helsinki Art Museum.
My post gallery treat was the Fazer cafe. Fazer chocolate is ubiquitous in Finland and an art deco facade ushers you into the original cafe opened by Karl Fazer in 1891. It would be hard to imagine that a more tempting array of open sandwiches or cakes could be found in the entire country. However, the most memorable aspect of the cafe is perhaps its ceiling. I had read previously that it had a cupola that reflected back people’s conversations and was, accordingly, not the place for idle gossip. At that moment I was simply in need of a rest and had entirely forgotten this curious anecdote. However, after my first mouthful of my salmon and avocado rye bread sandwich I heard a loud conversation in German emanating from above my head. Stupidly I looked up half expecting to see a speaker. The reality was that I was receiving a crystal clear communication of a conversation between two ladies about four tables away at the edge of the room. Happily for them my German is rustier than the Titanic.
On this trip I was determined to make it out to the island fortress that I had seen all those years ago. The Finns know it as Suomenlinna but it was originally called Sveaborg when the Swedish Crown constructed it in the mid 18th century in an ill-fated attempt to keep Russia at bay. The island is inhabited and, in the warmer summer months, is a hugely popular destination with a raft of visitor attractions and cafes. By contrast, I was visiting in January. Not only that, I was still jet-lagged from my flight from Tokyo and, having been awake for hours, resolved to take an early ferry and see the sun rise from this rocky outcrop. Sadly for me there was to be no sunrise that day. It was replaced by a ferocious blast of sleet from the icy Baltic. The fortress surprised me with its scale and the combination of the adverse weather and the complete lack of tourists meant that I felt more in tune with its original purpose and could imagine the Swedish forces hunkering down before their eventual surrender, or the Russian soldiers who armed the multitude of cannons in an effort to fend off the French and English navies during the Napoleonic wars. Atmospheric though that was, as I became colder and wetter the call of a strong coffee back across the harbour became over-whelming. I look forward to returning and enjoying this unique place with the crowds on a long mid-summer day.
The least known of the Nordic capitals is well worth a visit!

With its long days and short nights, summertime is a great time to be in Helsinki. This was our second visit to the Finnish capital, and we were excited as ever to experience it for a couple of days. With summer in full swing, we enjoyed dinners al fresco, boat trips to nearby islands, and lots of walking around town. Here's a look at how we spent our time in Helsinki:
This is a city that comes alive during the summer months, and it was great enjoying all the events taking place in the city as well as relaxing outdoors. We loved revisiting Helsinki and we discovered so many new places that we had completely skipped over the first time around.

Nimikkeen takaisin Suomessa - ja erityisesti Helsinki - oli meidän suurin yllätys tänä kesänä. Kuten pääkaupunki, se on lähellä tahansa suurkaupungissa tarjoaa, mutta se jotenkin säilyttää runsaasti pikkukaupungin charmia. Yksi tärkeimmistä syistä on se, että et ole koskaan kaukana luonnosta. Hypätä polkupyörän tai kajakin ja olet muutaman kilometrin sinusta tuntuu ikään kuin olet yksin yhtä luonnon kanssa.
Olemme luoneet tämän matkaoppaan esiin kaikki Top Tekemistä Suomi, korostetaan erityisesti Helsingin kaupungin. Alkaen Suomen kulttuurista Suomen Elintarviketyöläisten alkaen suomalaisia ruokia muihin matkailuun hauskoja liittyvien toimien löydät sekä parhaat nähtävyydet jotkut enemmän off-the-pahoinpideltiin-polku omituinen asioita harkita tekee teidän seuraava loma.
1) katutaiteilijoita ja katuesiintymiset
2) Helsingin tuomiokirkko
3) Salmiakki Kioski (Suomen Musta Salty Lakritsi)
4) Dinner in the Sky
5) Kauppatori ostaa Suomen matkamuistoja ja syödä lohta
6) Design District
7) Matto pesu telakat
8) Hiljaisuuden kappeli
9) Temppeliaukion kirkko
10) Polkupyörä City Tour
11) Melonta keskiyöllä
12) Risteilyt saarten
Sen pitkä päivä ja lyhyitä öitä, kesällä on hyvä aika olla Helsingissä. Tämä oli meidän toinen vierailu Suomen pääkaupunki, ja olimme innoissamme kuin koskaan kokea sitä pari päivää. Kesän täydessä vauhdissa, nautimme illallista ulkosalla, veneretkiä lähisaarille, ja paljon kävelyä ympäri kaupunkia. Tässä tarkastellaan, miten vietimme aikaa Helsingissä:
Tämä on kaupunki, joka herää eloon kesäisin, ja se oli mahtavaa nauttia kaikista tapahtumista kaupungin sekä rentouttava ulkona. Rakastimme tarkistamassa Helsingin ja huomasimme niin paljon uusia paikkoja, että olimme täysin ohitetaan ensimmäisellä kerralla.

First Time in Finland | 48 Hours in Helsinki
We have arrived in Finland for the very first time and we are so excited to kick start our winter Christmas European getaway with 48 hours right here in Helsinki!
Day 1 of Jess epic European Christmas she has dreamt of as a kid begins with hot chocolates, roasting sausages by the fire in a red traditional hut.
Cafe: Cafe Regatta Helsinki
Next up we needed to try a Finnish tradition - their Finnish spa experience of getting warmed up in a sauna and then jumping into icy cold water (don't ask me why they do it!)
Spa: Loyly Helsinki
We then attempted to find some Christmas markets (we were a tad early) so we resorted to some hot Glögi before calling it a night.
The next day we went to market square to try some warm creamy salmon soup, headed to Christmas street -
