In Northern Europe one of it’s leading cities is Helsinki…
…Finland’s Capital, largest city and it’s major political, educational, financial, cultural and research center, known for it’s stunning neoclassical buildings and often used as a backdrop for scenes for some popular Hollywood movies.
Today we will be sharing a few pictures from our visit there during our Baltic Sea Cruise several years ago and we’ll be showing you a video of some things to do in Helsinki during your next visit.
The video below we can’t take credit for 🙂 as it was made by the man who knows Europe inside out, Rick Steves. Here is his take on this diverse city…
“Helsinki is set in a natural wonderland, and the several-hundred islands of its archipelago provide a delightful playground for a boat tour. We also visit a sauna, which, for the Finns, is a lifestyle. Popular year around, it’s especially appealing in the long cold winters.”
Great video huh… and exciting things to do!
Below are a few pictures of our time when there…
