Helsinki was founded in 1550 by order of King Gustav Vasa of Sweden with the aim of creating a trading city to compete with Tallinn.
The town was founded at the mouth of the Vantaa River, where it was only a fishing village. In the 1600s, it was moved to the surroundings of the South Harbour
During the Russian rule in 1812, Helsinki was designated as the capital of the Grand Duchy of Finland instead of Turku, which began rapid growth.
Architect Carl Ludvig Engel designed the centre of Helsinki and also the National Theatre, which was the first theatre in Helsinki.
Many cultural figures, such as Aleksis Kivi, J. L. Runeberg, Eino Leino, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Eliel Saarinen and Jean Sibelius, have been influential in Helsinki, and they have left their mark on Helsinki's cultural life.
The 1952 Summer Olympics brought Helsinki to international attention. Today, Helsinki has become a centre of culture, education and technology.
The city has grown into a metropolis. Helsinki, together with Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen, forms the Helsinki Metropolitan Area.
Helsinki has been the World Design Capital (2012), known for its many architectural attractions, such as the Temppeliaukio Church
Helsinki City Theatre, Finnish National Opera, New Opera House, Helsinki Music Centre, Oodi Library and Amos Rex Art Museum.
Helsinki combines traditions and new ideas.
