I have always loved visiting cold countries, so in December of 2004, I ventured to a new destination for me. The Capital of Finland, Helsinki.
We spent 2 days there and had a wonderful time. Everything was great, from the friendly locals that speak perfect English, to the gorgeous cathedrals, to the very funky and trendy bars and restaurants.
Having visited all the scandinavian countries, Helsinki to me in still the cheapest, and you dont need to break the bank to have a good time here.
Its a very compact city, and during our 2 days there ,we only used public transport to and from the airport, the rest of the time we walked all over because it was possible to do so due to its nice size.
Would I return for another visit?? Most certainly!
- Pros:Lots to see, friendly locals, gorgeous city!
- Cons:Can really not think of any...
- In a nutshell:More than just snow, Nokia and reindeers!

Pear and Apple Cider sounds nice, and I love garlic, but not so sure about the garlic beer! Nice tips!
Garlic beer??? That's a first! lol Tuomiokirkko look stunning - great that you had sunny days!
Nice photos and tips. I see you enjoyed Helsinki well.
