Scandi, Nordic, Baltic - A trip with a lot of firsts!

Sitting in our hotel foyer in Helsinki waiting for check in time. Not long to go now. It’s been 38 hrs since we left home! I’m tired and looking forward to a shower but otherwise the trip was quite stress free.

Helsinki looks lovely - it’s green and leafy and lots of cafes and boutiques in the area near our hotel. Looking forward to exploring tomorrow.

Loved Helsinki. Walkable, tram friendly and interesting architecture just for starters.

Sorry to have just missed you - I flew out of HEL about 3 hours ago!

Enjoy, it's a really lovely city and you've come at possibly the best time of the year. The weather has been awesome the last few days.

@Seat0B try to visit Suomenlinna Fortress (island) if you have time (included with day tram ticket)

Suomenlinna is both visually impressive and rich in history. It provides plenty to explore for a full day, including various museums, bunkers and fortress walls. You can learn all about the island's history as you pass the many well-preserved buildings and explore the various museums, bunkers and tunnels.
