| Page Views: 369 Last Visit to Helsinki: March, 2008 | Welcome to Helsinki (Helsingfors) by yumyum - last update: Apr 25, 2008 |
I have been several times to Helsinki. My frist visit was between flights at the beginning of one January, so I saw it all snow covered. But I find it preferable with the sun shining, no matter what season.
I always rely to get some English language paperbacks in the Stockman bookshop here.
It's a city with pleasant parks and interesting secondhand shops! |
|  | Some of the architecture is very much like in St. Petersburg and maybe after living in Petersburg that couldn't excite me that much anymore. |
| | Arriving or leaving by ship is a very good way!
It only takes 1.5 hours by catamaran to Tallinn or overnight to Stockholm. |

Finland is still on my wish list, thanks for the virtual trip. Now I know which letter to choose for the right public toilet ;-) | HORSCHECK Mon Apr 28, 2008 20:22 UTC
Fabulous updates here. I especially like the night shot of the Uspenski Cathedral. I still remember my first experience with the bus #615 together with two girls from lovely Switzerland. |
