Having lived in Finland all my life, and having visiting most magor cityes in Europe, I found the heritage of Helsinki to be unremarkable and uninteresting in comparison to those of other cities. The city smal, only around 500 000 people, yet everybody living in city consider it to have far more cultural importance than it actually does. Not much ...

That was the first time I came Helsinki for business, and the most impression is forest af wood, and it's quite cool in the summer. But if you plan to stay in Finland for a long time, remember bring warm clothes and rain coat.

Early in the morning is the market with fresh foods, eating, craftsman and the great Finnish people. Shopping is easy as all speak English. Beware Department Store Stockman unless you like to step back 60 years ago. This store has not been updated since l950's and merchandise is hit and miss.
