MY former HOME TOWN: H E L S I N K I

by LysDor - last update: Apr 12, 2008

I will show here a different aspect of this city also known as The daughter of the Baltic because there are already so many great pages on VT and it is always difficult to write something about the place where you live - too many things I would love to tell and not that much space to do so.
................................
I live, not quite right in the center but some 20 minutes walking distance nearby the sea (50 m) but which to my profound disapointment I can't see right from my window - two buildings in between blocking the view.
..............................
My aim is to mostly concentrate on sights and things to do in my home-area called Taka-Töölö.
Though, I will add little by little some information on places to visit outside Helsinki City itself but still not too far either (max. 30 km).
TUOMIOKIRKKO - THE CATHEDRAL


To learn more on Helsinki check out the Official Site of Helsinki. It's excellent and complete with up-to-date additions what to do and see.

 I loved your restaurant tips. I wish I had read of this before we visited in 2002. We stayed in Helsinki and Porvoo. I love your country. My husband and I hope to visit again soon. In fact my youngest son's name is Finnish: Onni.
