Helsinki among the world’s 100 greatest places, according to Time

THE FINNISH CAPITAL of Helsinki is one of the greatest places on Earth, according to a list compiled by Time.

The American bi-weekly magazine pointed out that the city has long been recognised as an environmental leader, but it could blossom into an art hotspot courtesy of projects such as Helsinki Biennial, a biennial international art event hosted this year on the uninhabited Vallisaari Island.
