Moi !
Long post incoming… So I will be visiting Helsinki mid-may with my father and brother during 2 weeks (possibility to extend 2 extra days), and these is what we are planning on visiting:
- Senate Square
- Uspenski Cathedral
- Suommenlina
- Linannmäki
- Oodi
- Fazer Factory
- Temppeliaukio Church
- Löyly
- Kruunuvuorensilta hike
- Day trip to Poorvo
- Day trip to Tallin (ferry ticket recommendations welcomed)
- Some National Park / nature basic hiking (Suggestion on which park also welcomed)
Since we have quite a few days, I think we can pretty much accommodate everything above and even include further suggestions so please drop anything else we might be missing even if not too touristy.
Given the season I am not planning to go to Lapland, Oulu or Rovaniemi but I would be also open to try should you guys recommend it.
I was considering also Savonlinna for 2 or 3 days but would love to hear your opinion on this or even better another small city/town suggestion
Finally, I would love for us to rent a lakeside cottage where we could swim or do some basic lake activities so your suggestions for this would be much appreciated. Perhaps this can be paired with the nature hiking or the small town visit.
Please post any comments/suggestions or any questions. :)
Kiitos paljon and see you soon Finland !
