This island fortress is accessed by a short ferry ride from the city harbour and is a brilliant day out. The island is big enough to spend several hours on and the historical features are most interesting. There are some places to eat but I recommend taking food and enjoying a picnic if it's sunny. Check out the old church as well in the centre of the island.

    Finnish hair comes in two colors: light blonde hair and dark blonde hair. [Cover your face] When you go to Suomenlinna, you're on a boat with a bunch of blondes. Except they don't speak English, everything else is perfect! [ye]

    The stronghold of Smelina is often called Finland's Fort. You can understand it when you talk to the Finns. This fortress is not in the centre of the city. It's going to take a boat to an island. Fortunately, one-day transport tickets are available in Helsinki, and no extra tickets are required. In summer, there are boats to the King's Gate, so they don't have to go back in the same way. It's better than in winter.

    This is an 18th century naval fortress that is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is located on several small islands opposite the center of Helsinki and can be reached by ferry. Here you can visit the historic military museum, explore ancient tunnels and forts, enjoy magnificent views of the bay and city, or relax on a picnic on the grass. The fortress is also an active cultural center with many studios, galleries, cafes and restaurants.

    Finland Fort is built on a series of islands off Helsinki, including Great Black Island, Little Black Island and Wolf Island. Finland Fort is an ancient coastal fortress, which restricts the sea route from the Gulf of Finland to Helsinki. Its geographical location is very important. Founded more than 250 years ago, Fort Finland is a masterpiece of Swedish designer and artillery officer Oxstein. It is one of the largest coastal defense military fortresses in the world. It is also one of the most important and famous scenic spots in Finland. There are churches, barracks, gates and other historic sites. There are rare maritime military relics in the world. There are 10 museums on the island, including the Coastal Battery Museum, the Wisco Submarine Museum and the Doll and Toy Museum. In 1991, Finnish castles were listed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO.

    You have to go by bus from the pier in front of the presidential palace. Asked, Helsinki bus tickets can also be used, more recommended purchase. The boat runs every 40 minutes or 1 hour, and the journey is about 15 minutes. In winter, there are not many museums in Finland, but the natural scenery and architecture are very beautiful, especially suitable for walking around, very comfortable.
