- For years now Finland has been hailed the happiest country in the world. Finland is amongst the safest, cleanest, most environmentally friendly and best educated countries on the planet. Finland has one of the highest qualities of life in the world and one of the most successful societies. Finnish people share a collective responsibility to keep things beautiful, safe and enjoyable for everyone. So what is it that makes this country so great? I recently had the opportunity to visit Helsinki to get to the bottom of why Finland is considered such a happy place to live. In this video I'll tour you around Helsinki and point out the great things the city is doing to make life so pleasant for it's inhabitants. Tune in to discover why Finland is the happiest country on Earth.

Cool video, cool observations! I am Finnish, but I have spent a fair amount of time in the US, too. The scariest was living in a upper middle-class gated community in Florida. A lot of community police cars around, and at night the golf-cart security people just emerged out of nowhere...I have never felt so unsecure...😄Probably there has not been a crime in that gated community like ever, and the likelyhood for future is well-nigh zero, but the people who are in the business of scaring you really know their stuff.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching and commenting. My brother in law is married to a Finnish woman so I'm looking forward to learning more and more about the culture over the next few years
You had made a very nice video about our capital. I like very much to watch this kind of videos that foreigners make, because it's interesting to see my home country through someone else's eyes. I smiled at 15:30 because there's ALWAYS a seagull on top of Johan Ludvig Runeberg's head :D
Thanks so much, that's so nice of you to say. Thank you for commenting. Cheers!
That’s just Helsinki. They make things, add more services and make it overall better when also taking services from other part of Finland away. So in Helsinki, life is on easy mode on Finnish scale
Well I thought it was great and look forward to my next trip. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!
Nice video! Thank you!
Thanks for your kind words. I love making videos like this, my pleasure 😁
Привет 👋🏻 Классное видео ✅️🔝📹👍🏻
Thank you! Great video! One of The Best "American" made travel/living/culrure/abroad... etc. videos👍Good quality and content with enough variety. And most of all, exact right "tempo and sound" 🤩. Just right to give a professional impact!! Extra points for chlothes and style. "Sonata" rules😍🤘💪🔥❤️Best Regards from Finland To Your whole family 😁
Thanks so much. That's so kind of you to say! Thank you for watching and commenting, I really value your feedback
Interesting vistas into these places. Usually people just go to those places and you really cant see the surrounding.
For example the harbour, vallisaari, airport toilet.
Thank's 👍
The only problem for foreigners really, is making friends. It can be extremely hard if you dont speak the language well. Its really not a joke when people say you HAVE to learn the language when moving here. Ofc we speak English, but most people dont really want to speak English all day to their friends. Finnish is casual for us.
Yes, my brother and law lives there and told me this is one of the difficulties. Thanks so much for mentioning that and thanks for watching!
Typical Finn always thinks twice before he says nothing. 🤐
Cool video. Im From Finland and things in this vid are pretty accurate. Anybody wana ask anything else about Finland?
Thanks for watching!!
A nice basic look at the city. I think for people looking to move to the city, a more detailed look at the public transit system would be helpful, fares, routes etc. Also a more of look into the housing stock, most live in condos or apartments, single family home exist, as shown, but that's more the exception than the rule. A quick peek at the schools would be nice to, as it's somewhat different from that in the US, i.e. not much of a private school system at all. Anyways, nice job overall!
Thanks for the recommendation. I only had a week so I did the most I could in the short time I was there. An overview was pretty much what I was going for. Thanks for watching!
7:41 like a true finn, that ”Helsinki” was spot on. ☺️
Awwww, common. I'm blushing 🤭thank you for the kind words
When it's summer, when it's sunny Helsinki is very competitive :) This latitude is really far north, sharing the position with Anchorage and the middle of the Hudson Bay - when it's light, it's extremely light, a manic-depressive year...
That's my understanding. Thanks for sharing.
Helsinki is the second most northern Capital city in the world. Reykjavik is the northest.
@@80009 That's a cool fact!
As far I understood the study focused on external factors such as infrastructure and services, not on subjective happiness and up north those factors need to in place to even survive.
That's interesting, is there a particular study you're referring to? I've seen a handful
In the immortal words of the Flying Circus, "All together, Finnophiles!"
I love Finland, have family there and plan on going back at least once a year. Thanks for watching!
But Finnish pronunciation is so simple: stress always on the first syllable.👌
Then why HelSINki!?!😖
It’s HELsinki👍
And you missed the Finnish invention in the apartment:
Dish drying cupboard above the kitchen sink. ✌️
No need to use towels😮👌
Good to know although I'm not studying language, just making observations. Since I plan on visiting regularly I'll keep these things in mind for future videos. Thanks for watching and commenting, cheers!
Upper middle class? Is there any other type in Finland? :D
Haha! I guess not, thanks for watching 😁
how did you get the apartment that cheap? do you need to register on something?
Yeah, you have to apply and I understand that the waiting period is long. I can get you details if you're interested. Do you live in Finland or thinking about moving there? Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
It's pronounced HEL-sinki.
Doing my best 😉
only at kiasma
I loved it! Thanks for watching
My family lived on Vallisaari when I was born 1975. There is that old apartment building near the pier. We lived on left upper corner. Almost middle of the capital city and there was no hot water on tap.
Wow, that's so cool! Thanks for the comment .
It's too cold in Finland.
Cold weather keeps away crime 😉 thanks for the comment!
No colder than half the us in winter
You know its happiest country because people tell you it isn't😂
The verdict is that Finland is "Content" but I know what you're saying! Thanks for watching it means a lot😄
I am not happy in Finland in these days and after new goverment and prime minister Orpo. They take from poor and give more to rich people.
@@jps8678 I'm sorry to hear that. I can't say that things are much better in the US. Unfortunately I don't think any country is perfect. Any ideas?
This "happiest country in the world" thing has really started to bug me. Finland is not a utopia, or even close. We don't go around singing and dancing and feeling euphoric.
Life in Finland is nothing special! This country shouldn't be advertised as being uniquely good - we have many, many flaws just like everywhere else!
This title of the happiest country - Finland can never live up to it to anyone who comes here looking for happiness for themselves!
The "happiest" title borders on false advertising.
I happen to think Finland is s good place, but enough is enough with the superlatives. I hope some other country will soon be the happiest in that report 🤷
Well there is certainly a reality in any country that doesn't match up with it's reputation. I'm going to have a part two with interviews of people living in Finland who tell us about the day to day. I only spent a week in Helsinki and while I loved it, admittedly my scope is narrow.
I do think Finland has a lot of great things going for it and coming from the US a lot that can be an example to us. That's so much for watching and commenting, cheers!

Yeah, sorry for my rant, it wasn't meant exactly for you or anyone in particular. It's just that this "Finland is the happiest country" has really taken off on the internet, and I see this sentiment way too often and it has started to feel a burden of sorts to me as a Finn.
I think the happiness report isn't necessarily false in the case of Finland, it's just that I'm afraid that people of the world will form a false image of Finland based on that reporting in their heads - I mean they may expect much more than they could ever get if they come to Finland.
I've always said that the report should be named differently - If it was "The World Contentment Report" or something more neutral than "happiness", then I think it would represent the report better, and it's results. I think us Finns are kinda quietly quite satisfied about our lives, for the most part, and not exactly "happy".
So sorry for me to go off in your comments, this was just pretty randomly the place where I finally said some of the things that I have been sitting on about this happiness report issue and Finland 🤷
@@FINNSTIGAT0R No, I totally understand. I don't think you're the only one. I talked to a few people about it and they pointed out some relatively negative aspects as well. I do think, overall though, Finland has a lot going for it. I have family there now so I'll be there probably twice a year. Maybe you can show me around next time 😉
@@FINNSTIGAT0R A typical Finnish depressed pessimist. This is one of those flaws what we have here.
@@FINNSTIGAT0Rsolid points. Imo as a person who sees the underbelly in our system i have come to realize. We have it pretty good in the sense, we can actually discuss the faults we perceive and through discussion of mutual respect come up with solutions. Our problems are often matters of adjusting rather than replacing.
Though my personal view is that our political system has come to a point where we ought to consider other ways of implementation. Representative democracy was a good choice a 100 years ago. But since the general population is rather educated and the technology of direct voting on issues could make it possible to leave out politicians and have people vote on matters them selfs. This is a bit far out and would take a generation to implement. But I think it could be done.
It has the highest murder rate in the eu and high alcoholic rate so something isn’t right
Lucy, I'm not sure about that. Looks like Latvia, France, Belarus all have higher murder rates. That said all of those are safer places than any large US city. Thanks for commenting though. I appreciate it
Most likely finland will lose the #1 spot this year.. at least right is doing its best to make it happen.
According to a Monocle Magazine survey it's actually #4. Thanks for watching and commenting!
The tourist stroll in downtown Helsinki, Oodi, cafes and parks is cool, but hardly says anything about the actual life in Finland, the daily grind and the real problems. Right now the folks are feeling a real squeeze and they are helmed by the most vandalous, amateurish and vile government in living memory.
Blaah blaah blaah..
@@aazvank7000Sorry, I don't speak persu.
You forgot openly rasist and fasist
@@viljanov you are messed up. I'm not a persu. loose pants cry to foreigners when reality and your own perception of the world do not match
Its like getting a view of what USA is like by taking a walk down the Broadway in New York.
Not seeing how the capital is drained from rural areas and small towns into the cities and in to the hands of those who already have it all.
Being the richest time in the countrys history, but not having money to do anything for the people. In contrary, needing to drain the poor for more money.
Because the money is in the hands of the already filthy rich capitalists.
No they have not
Thanks for answering the question, try making a video to tell us more. Thanks for watching and commenting!
