Helsinki is the capital and largest city in Finland. It is the southern part of Finland, on the shore of the Gulf
of Finland. The foreign-born population stands at around 10%. The grater Helsinki area has a population
of over 1,300,000, almost equivalent to a quarter of total Finlander. The immigration of rural residents to
Helsinki has made it one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in Europe.

Because of the high latitude, a daytime lasts less than six hours in the winter solstice, and the very cloudy
weather at this time of a year accentuates the darkness. Conversely, Helsinki enjoys long days in summer,
almost nineteen hours at the summer solstice. The average maximum temperature June through August is
around 19 to 21 C.
