Touristing in Helsinki


From Turku to Helsinki is only two hours or less by bus, train or a car. But two days in an other town feels like being abroad! So we made a trip from the former capital city to the today's capital city.

A nice day as a tourist starts at Krulla's breakfast buffet
before stepping into our hotel
in a picturesque neighborhood
There's always time for a little shopping before seeing the sights, right?
A new Helsinki Music Centre where we heard a short day concert

Surely you can understand that somebody can easily spend one hour in a tea shop, sniffing and comparing different tea qualities


Taiwanese Spring Tea, first flush; aromatic, juicy and refreshing
Church of the Rock
Falafel, halloumi, salad, tabule, matbuha, tzatziki in a pita bread, with extra chili sauce at Fafa's
Fresh green peas make a good snack
See and hear the amazing story of the Afghan Girl in Helsinki Art Hall: Steve McCurry found this girl in the picture 18 years later!
The building of Kiasma is artistic and harmonic
