SeanyTravels (Finland) #13 First impressions of Helsinki

in #busy6 years ago (edited)

I had half a day to spend in Helsinki before jetting off to Rovaniemi.

Without knowing anything about this city, these are some photos I have chosen that I felt captured the essence of Helsinki.

We wanted to take a brief look around the city without knowing too much, and just visit places based on instinct. Without using our maps too much, we just went to where we thought looked nice, and snapped some photos there.

We walked from the ferry terminal to a cathedral we saw in the distance. We had to climb up quite a few steps to reach there. Because it was around Easter, there was actually a TV crew setting up cables and cameras everywhere.

It was quite late by the time we walked back to Senate Square. We were not allowed up that day as TV crew were setting up alot of cables everywhere. Here is an evening photo with the Statue silhouette.

And I actually found this photo in my phone! This is for @seandeanayao xD

I thought it was interesting to find this poster just around the boundaries of the Senate Square, so I snapped a photo of it.

Although it looked as if the sun just set, but it was in fact already almost 10pm at this time when we decided to leave. We went back to the hotel to rest, as we had a flight to catch the next day! :D
