Hello Finland!

A day and a night on the boat, and we ended up in beautiful Helsinki, Finland! Excited to see what this city had to offer, we set off to explore the sights of Helsinki...


We visited the 150-year-old Helsinki Cathedral at the Senate Square. The most famous symbol of Helsinki...


Here we are at the Fazer Cafe, famous for its decor, architecture, pastries and coffees...


The Academic Bookstore and the Savoy Restaurant design by Alvar Aalto. Aalto is the most important Finnish architect of the 20th century.


We decided to get on the tram...


Ended up at the Cable Factory, Finland's single largest cultural centre. An ex-Nokia factory, now resident to over 100 artists.


And the subway back to Helsinki centre...

What a city! Having seen only a glimpse of what this city has to offer, we decided to stay and explore some more..
