Depending on the season, Helsinki is a great city for walking, cycling, cross-country skiing, skating, swimming, boating, canoeing and fishing. It's blessed with plenty of parks and waterside bike tracks, and its compact nature means that getting around on foot is relatively easy for the more active visitor. An excellent public transport network waits for those who are unable or unwilling to get around on foot or bike.
