Question about Finland
I might be going to Helsinki for a weekend in mid-December and I have a few questions:
- Do most people speak English? (I know Finland is generally a good English-speaking country but I was wondering if your average taxi driver, shopkeeper etc. would speak English)
- Are hotels relatively vacant and cheap at this time of year?
- What are some places I would need to visit in Helsinki throughout the daytime?
Thanks so much!

Almost all people under 60 speak English.
Helsinki has business visitors around the year, but this is not the main tourist season.
You shoud visit the Rock Church, the University Library and the Amos Rex Museum.
