Since its foundation in 1550, Helsinki has been a trading city. Its founders had grandiose plans for the location, but the city was devastated by illness and poverty. For a long time Helsinki remained a relatively small center of trade. About 150 years later the black plague killed a large portion of the population, just when the territory was annexed by Russia, the whole country began to develop as the Great Duchy of Finland. In 1812 the capital of Finland was moved from Turku to Helsinki. At that time, the only university in the country was also moved to Helsinki. Factors such as industrialization and infrastructure development were becoming essential for the growth of the city.

Helsinki is located on the edge of a peninsula and covers 315 islands. The capital produces over 1/3 of the country's gross domestic product. The average GDP per capita in the city is 1.3 times bigger than the country average.
Tourism is a big part of the city's economy. Helsinki is a popular tourist destination, especially among people from neighboring countries.
