Hotel Kamp - Helsinki - Finland
The Hotel Kamp, a historic Helsinki landmark that was the haunt of Finland's rich and famous, has been reincarnated - again. Three decades ago, the hotel was razed. Later, it was rebuilt and turned into dull bank offices. Now it has reopened as Helsinki's only luxury hotel, and officials think the move shows Finland really has become a part of Europe. This spring, after two years and 200 million markkaa ($36 million US) in renovations, the hotel reopened as a replica of its predecessor with yellow and mauve, marble Corinthian columns and plush mustard-colored sofas.

Kauppatori Market - Helsinki - Finland
Kauppatori is probably the best known of the market squares in Helsinki. Some flower vendors, but you can also buy vegetables, fresh and smoked fish, bread and cakes, souvenirs, and lots of other things there, as well as have a snack in one of the cafe tents, board a ferry to the Suomenlinna island-fortress or the zoo on Korkeasaari island, or start a Helsinki round trip by tram or boat. And by the way, the Presidential Palace is right across the street

Sonoma House - Helsinki - Finland
Last year, a ""premium-class"" building was constructed in the heart of Finland's capital city. Situated next to the Finnish parliament, the Mannerheim National Monument and the new, controversial Museum of Modern Art, Sanoma House is certain to be one of the most impressive buildings in Europe's Cultural Capital 2000. The 100-year-old Sanoma Publishing House puts out the largest daily newspaper in all of Scandinavia, is one of the largest Finnish newspaper and book publishers, and holds shares, through the Helsinki Media Group, in one of the country's two nationwide commercial television stations.
