Finland is a relatively rich country with modern cities, however, its people appreciate tradition, simplicity and contact with nature. Therefore, it should not be surprising that they feel best among the brightly colored classicist buildings of the downtown, somewhat confirming the Finnish love of simplicity and minimalism. Due to its characteristic architecture Helsinki is often called "the white city of the North". It is also worth noting that the capital of Finland is one of the greenest cities in Europe – we can find there numerous parks and squares, as well as many trees along the main streets of the city. All these create the image of the city with the atmosphere that perfectly captures the passion of its inhabitants.
