travel europe finland helsinki

Evidence of the Soviet Unions ruling of Helsinki is still found throughout the city.
Guides made continuous tongue-in-cheek references to the good old "glorious' days.
The tempo and ambiance of Helsinki is closer to our imagined images of old Russia than what we actually experienced in Moscow and St. Petersburg."
