Make the most of your Helsinki Expat Life

"Stadi" or "Hesa" offers an exciting intercultural experience for expats, starting with cultural highlights, like Helsinki's symbol, the Lutheran Cathedral (Tuomiokirkko),, the folkloristic festivities on the occasion of Finland’s Juhannuspäivä, up to getting a taste of traditional poronkäristys. The InterNations community helps you as an Helsinki expat to enjoy your expat stay in Finland to the fullest. Our members have already come across many of the questions you’ll have when starting your expatriate life in Helsinki and kindly offer you their assistance, from ʺHow do I write a CV addressed to a Finnish company?ʺ up to ʺIs there a free English language magazine in Finland?ʺ.
