Helsinki is the capital and the lead seaport and industrial city of Finland. More than half of Finland’s total imports consequently pass through the port of Helsinki. It has one of the world’s highest urban standards of living. There are numerous museums, galleries, theatres, and many symphony orchestras in the city. Here are some fascinating vintage photos that show what Helsinki looked like in the 1960s.
