"This is a cool place!" Helsinki by musti72


Helsinki Travel Guide: 4,535 reviews and 6,842 photos

The Queen of the Baltic Sea! I think this title is perfect for such a beautiful city. I've been there twice now and I love it. I like the proximity to the sea and the woods, the tranquillity even if it's a metropolis, and the many cultural, sportive and artistic activites that's going on.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Big city but still very quiet
  • Cons:I heard it's really cold in winter
  • In a nutshell:Pefect setting in the most beautiful nature

    Welcome to VT. You are right, the church in the rock is a pretty cool place.
