We walked 1 km or so, from the ship, into the stunning city. This fountain was near the port.
Passed the fountain, we walked through this charming park.
Helsinki streets are wide and dramatic.
Finally we reached the Gothic railway station. A monumental building. The Burger King there, must be one of the most beautiful!
No trip to Helsinki, is complete, without a trip to the Moomin store.
On our way back to the ship, we saw some impressive churches.
We stopped for a local beer before returning to MS Braemar. A wonderful few hours in Helsinki.

Thank You visiting Helsinki. I wish that You will explore the real Finland outside it. There You will find hidden gems about which You do not have any idea or heard about them.
Happy and safe travels!

Thank you. We love cruising, because it gives us a taster. We then revisit our favourite destinations. We will be back to Finland, it is an amazing place. We want to explore some more.

What a beautiful city. There look to be some very impressive buildings and even Burger King looks lovely. I’ve never heard of the Moomin Shop but it’s obviously a popular place. The weather seems to be holding well for you, too, so I hope it continues that way for the rest of your trip.

Thank you. The Moomin stories were a favourite of mine as a child. We are having an amazing time. In Latvia today. Feeling a bit more Autumnal but sunny. X

A nice little trip down Memory Lane for you, then? Did you read them in English or Finnish (or were they written in Swedish?) The shop is a popular one, no doubt.

Ah that I could read Finnish or Swedish. I read the English translation. There was a Moomin cartoon on UK TV many moons ago:)

Finnish builders are second to none. I have seen their master works, in Sitka, AK. It stands to reason that their capital city would be such a phenomenal sight!
