FANCY A TRIP TO HELSINKI?
Next is Suomenlinna Island and fortress, a UNESCO
World Heritage site and one of Finland’s top attractions. A naval bastion stronghold spread across five islands, it was founded in 1748 during the period when Finland was still part of the Kingdom of Sweden. Designed to command the sea approach to Helsinki, its most famous sites are the King’s Gate, the Great Courtyard and the large cannons dating to Russian rule located in the southern part of the largest island, Kustaanmiekka. However, there’s much more to see: the main museum
40
explains the building of the fortress and former life for those living on the naval base; there are interesting boat yards, a large church and restored wooden houses that were once used by the merchants who supplied the naval garrison. Add to this arts and crafts shops, cafés, a toy museum and a dry-docked submarine that you can explore, and it’s clear a whole day could be spent here alone. My time is running out, so I have one final port of
call at the famous café on Lonna Island, then it’s back to Market Square and my hotel to collect my luggage, and a pre-booked taxi back to the airport for a set fee of €35 (US$41). I’ve packed a huge amount into less than three days – but I know that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
