| If my understanding of Finnish geography is correct, there are no
fjords or moutains near Helsinki. However, there are lots and
lots of lakes!
I'll leave it to someone more knowledgable to provide you with
suggestions on what you could do.
I was once in Helsinki for a day and I did visit some museums.
I was very impressed with the National Museum of Fine Arts (I think
that's what it's called). Well worth visiting. If I remember
correctly, it's on a square, near the train station.

| Wilderness is a bit hard to find near Helsinki, and your short visit
doesn't allow travelling very far.
Fastest way to find wilderness is to go to one of the islands near
Helsinki. There are several boat charters that do this (although it is
a bit costly). And, you can go to some of the islands using boats that
shuttle back and forth.
Another idea is to spend an outdoor day on Suomenlinna island, which is
a historical fortress island quite near Helsinki. If the weather is
good this is a wonderfull way to spend a day.
