Helsinki is so underrated! Loved the saunas.
Suomenlinna lautalla kauppatorilta, upea retki kesällä.
Linnanmäki kesällä lasten kanssa.
Oodi-kirjasto on maailman hienoin kirjasto, ehdottomasti.
Vanha kauppahalli ja lohikeitto, nam.
Uspenskin katedraali on kaunis, varsinkin auringonlaskun aikaan.
Temppeliaukion kirkko kallioon louhittuna, ainutlaatuinen.
Löylyn sauna ja pulahdus mereen, aito suomalainen kokemus 🧖
