Hotels in Uusimaa, Finland

Uusimaa is a coastal region in southern Finland, home to Helsinki and the stunning Gulf of Finland archipelago. Summers here are mild (60-70°F / 15-22°C), perfect for kayaking among the islands or exploring the 18th-century Suomenlinna sea fortress, while winters (20-30°F / -6 to -1°C) invite you to ice skate on frozen lakes or cross-country ski through snowy forests. The region is famous for Finnish design-visit Helsinki's Design District for modern Nordic furniture-and for its sauna culture, where you can try a traditional smoke sauna followed by a dip in the icy Baltic Sea.
