SUMMER CLASSICS

Suomenlinna Picnic

You won’t believe how relaxing this is! Escape the city buzz and hop on a quick ferry to Suomenlinna, an 18th-century sea fortress spread across six linked islands. It’s not just a historical monument; it’s a living, breathing neighborhood and the ultimate local hangout spot.

Pack a blanket and grab some fresh strawberries and pastries from the Kauppatori market before you leave. Spend your afternoon wandering through the hobbit-like hidden tunnels, relaxing on the grassy hills, and watching the giant ferries pass through the narrow Kustaanmiekka strait.

Insider Tip: Skip the main tourist cafes and find a quiet spot near the King’s Gate for the best sunset views!
