    Stunning inside and out! It's not overwhelmed with design inside which may be shocking to some, but it's so lovely and peaceful.

    Nice option to taste local food at a reasonable good price. Near the harbor and the sky wheel. The spa it’s also close by the harbor

    Nice winter city. Since the arrival at the beautiful airport you feel you are in a developed country. The train to the city center it was fantastic and super easy to take. The restaurants and food it’s a great discover. From reindeer through caviar, salmon etc.

    This island is simply beautiful. The buildings are wonderful. So quiet and peaceful.
    Lots of red squirrels running around.
    Could have spent hours here but on a guided tour. We would love to go back and spend more time exploring the island.

    The main attractions of the new no 15 tramline, two big shopping centers are situated at both ends. Starting in Keilaniemi business park in Espoo the tram stops at Otaniemi by the Aalto University campus travelling then through scarcely inhabited areas to Sello Mall in Leppävaara. A short tunnel passes below an ancient fortress hill before emerging in Pitäjämäki. There are connections to the railway network at Huopalahti and Oulunkylä where you can change to the Ring Rail for airport. The end station in East is the big Itis Mall with access to the metro.

    Great central location is a can’t miss opportunity for people watching. This block sized square is a popular magnet for folks climbing the steps for perfect views of downtown Helsinki. You’ll eventually cross through this iconic location, stop for a moment and appreciate the wonderful ambiance.

    The 3ed floor kids area is a a great place for littles to blow off steam, maybe up to 7yo. Our 10yo was excited by the 2nd floor where so much equipment is shared but you must have a library card to access it and so he left disappointed. The building is gorgeous and spirit of such a well loved public space is plain to see.

    Not a religious type but found this one of the most unique experiences of peaceful silence.
    Nothing inside or outside can distract. Very few people visiting in this cold February day.
    Total silence, peace of mind, inward focus as a bonus...
    I was lucky that everyone visited while I was in it respected the photo restriction.

    Amazing building with brilliant artwork!
    The impressionist exhibition was superb. The layout of the art was beautiful and all in all a must visit museum!
