Helsinki
Sightseeing Helsinki
Helsinki, the capital of Finland, which is located in the south has a population of approximately 630.000 inhabitants. The city offers a lot of different activities such as sightseeing, outdoor sports and beautiful Islands. While we were exploring the Center of Helsinki we got in touch with the traditonal Finnish food and culture. The first picture shows the cathedral of Helsinki, built around 1830. At the first evening we went to "Regatta", a small cafe near the sea in Tolöö, to drink hot chocolate and taste traditional food.
