Before I joined Travel Update, I liked to put together photo posts for my previous blog of different destinations before writing a longer trip report. It’s a different format than most posts, as I just introduce a bunch of photos. But as the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, so hey, ten photos is a 10,000-word post, right? 🙂
I don’t consider myself an especially good photographer, and I prefer to shoot most of my photos from my phone, although I do have a standard camera as well. But I usually end up with at least a handful of pretty good shots.
Helsinki in 10 Photos
In October I visited the capital of Finland for a couple days and had a very enjoyable time. Helsinki is a lovely city, with a number of beautiful churches, the Suomenlinna Fortress (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) just off the coast, and plenty of great coffee shops and beautiful parks. I hope this gives you a great quick peek at the Finnish capital.
Conclusion
Helsinki isn’t a large city as far as European capitals go. It’s highly walkable and has great public transportation. There aren’t any huge tourist attractions (such as Paris’ Eiffel Tower). But if you’re looking for another European city to explore, it’s worth a few days.
