Finland: Helsinki by the harbor

Helsinki, Finland was the most modern city on our Baltic tour. It does not have the rich, ancient heritage of the other cities we stopped at. It had a fresh, crisp atmosphere on the sea.


The Russian Orthodox Church.
The Lutheran Cathedral


The Waterfront Market.
Reindeer run wild in Finland so it is a tourist item.


There are many ferries in the Baltic connecting the countries.

We always made sure we made it in good time to our ship. We enjoyed looking at the port from a high point on the ship.
