Safe and compact city. Great natural environment. Amazing architecture. Easy to cope with English. Good vibes!

Welcome to Finland, the land of breath-taking nature and the home of heavy metal music! This meetup is organized in Helsinki, the charming capital of Finland. Helsinki is a vibrant, free-spirited city with lots of fun things to do, amazing food and restaurants, cultural sites, and green parks. You will fall in love with the city and its lovely people!

We will provide two nights (28^th – 30^th August) in a hostel in mixed dorms and meals for two days free of charge for you. We will also provide the necessary local transportations for both days. Meet up will start on Monday (28^th August) morning with the arrival to the hostel and end on Wednesday (30^th August) morning with departures from the hostel.

On Monday you will get to know the other travelers who will join the meet up. We will also go for a walking city tour and visit the Central Library Oodi, which is a masterpiece of modern architecture and a hub for creativity and civic activity in the heart of Helsinki. On Tuesday we will make a day trip to Suomenlinna, a historical sea fortress island nearby Helsinki. Suomenlinna is one of the Unesco World Heritage sites. You will also have free time to explore the city on your own or with other meet up participants.

You can participate to this meet up if you are travelling during the time of the meet up with the DiscoverEU Pass or if you are a former Finnish DiscoverEU traveler (Finnish DiscoverEU ambassador).

There will be places for 14 participants and we will organise the event if we have received minimum of 8 participants until 30^th July. We will select participants based on the registration order and we will inform all who signed up about the results in the end of July or early August. More detailed information about the meet up will be given to the selected participants in August. We expect that everyone will participate actively in the whole meet up programme.
