Great place: a fortress on a small island around 15 minutes far away of Helsinki. Go there with the ferry and walk around. Best view in the south of the island!
Take a ferry and spend a few hours on this historical fortress island. Cold and windy in the winter but still worth it to stroll through. Museums can be a hit or miss.
Great history. Very good example of a fortress island. UNESCO world heritage site. Be sure to visit the WWII submarine Vesikko and the lighthouse church as they're asking the few left in the world.
Quiet beautiful island. If you are in Helsinki for more than a day, don’t miss it. It is a short pleasant ferry ride from central Helsinki and the island has enough to occupy you for a few hours.
