Like what? What kind of activities do you want to do in a city? Can you be a little bit more precise?

Not sure if it's overrated, but Helsinki is my least favorite European city so far. It seems kind of sleepy and there doesn't seem to be much to do there.

I really liked Copenhagen, Stockholm, Rome and London. Same for Vienna, Amsterdam and Budapest. I didn't find any of them to be overrated.

Let me guess - you visited in early July. Because that is the only period when it is actually sleepy.

Finland was by far the most boring and ugliest place I ever been to. I took a Nordic cruise few years ago.

Finnish language is quite ugly as well. Indeed Swedes themselves hates Finnish people and call them for ugly.

Helsinki had a beautiful church and that's it. I also visited Abo for few hours stop. Another boring island city.

Someone on this forum will probably answer you that Suomi/Finland is the highlight of civilization and that neighbouring Russia pales in comparison , when there is one Dostoievsky, there are a hundred Finnish writers more talented !

Well, I liked Helsinki. Nice and comfortable city. It was better than I had expected. Would like to visit again some day.
