What you will see
Helsinki is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 12:25:32 local time, the Moon hides 8.2% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 11:49:00 and ends at 13:02:15, 1 h 13 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 46° above the horizon, towards the south, so you want a clear view in that direction from Helsinki.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 2,899 km south-west of Helsinki.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Teboulba, about 2,906 km south-west, where totality lasts 1 m 10 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
