Helsinki

by martin_nl - last update: Feb 1, 2003

Me in the snow on Senate Square
We stayed in Helsinki for 4 days. We didn't really know what we had to expect to see in Helsinki, but I can tell you Helsinki is fantastic. Normally 4 days would be enough to visit Helsinki, but we also went to see a concert and stood in line for that almost a whole day. Beside that, the days were every short since it was November. If I can give you just one tip, that would be to go site seeing during the couple of hours of daylight and visit museums etc. during early morning and late afternoon. Although there was snow everywhere, the weather was superb but cold, but I think we were just lucky to have no rain.

Pros:"Beautiful clean city, with many attractions"
Cons:"It can be very cold during wintertime, so visit in summer!"
In A Nutshell:"Without having any expectations, this city turned out to be great!!!"

 I've seen many Helsinki pages here on VT, & for the most part they were all good. This one is excellent. A+
