1) Our first impressions of Helsinki included wandering around the city and sampling some Finnish street food in the form of a do it yourself picnic we had on a pedestrian bench.
2) As a day trip we left the urban center of Helsinki via ferry for a wander around quaint Suomenlinna island where we sat down to enjoy ice cream - I tried the Salmiakki flavored one.
3) On a dare I had the opportunity to sample Salmiakki, a black licorice that is popular in Finland and other Scandinavian countries. As a big fan of licorice, I liked it instantly whereas Audrey spat it out immediately.
4) During our stay in Dalsbruk we had the chance to participate in some adventure sports including Sea Kayaking are the Archipelago passing by islands in Kimito where we had a chance to spot wildlife.
5) From Kasnas we took a speed boat to visit Rosala - home to a Viking Center - and from there we continued on to check out Bengtskär Lighthouse.
6) While listening to some great live 70's music we had an opportunity to sample three different kinds of Finnish beer while eating reindeer meat.
7) Having a chance to properly explore Helsinki was a must for both of us. One of the highlights of wandering around the city centre was having a chance to see some of the impressive architecture including Uspenski Cathedral while eating salmon and reindeer meatballs by the Harbor market.
8) During our time in the Finnish Archipelago we were based in the town of Dalsbruk (Swedish name) also called Taalintehdas (Finnish name) a small town home to mostly Swedish speakers also fluent in Finnish.
9) Finally, no trip of ours would be complete without keying in on the local cuisine. Before we left Taalintehdas we check out a super market where we spotted Finnish snacks such as Fazer chocolate, Finnish beer, salmon, Salmiakki, rye bread and more. We're certainly going to miss Finnish cuisine.

Travel to Rosala Viking Centre Island and Bengtskär Lighthouse via a boat ride from Kasnäs, Finland
In our latest travel adventure video in Finland, we travel to Rosala Viking Centre Island and Bengtskär Lighthouse via a boat ride from Kasnäs. Today we're in the little town of Kasnas and we are waiting to catch a ferry that is going to take us to a very remote island, which apparently is home to one of the largest lighthouses in the area. We are now visiting Rosala which is an island which is home to a Viking Center. So we enjoyed a really hearty Viking feast that was a thick soup with potatoes and white fish and we also had some black rye bread with butter and after that meal we've just been enjoying the island. There is lots of games and activities for kids. You can try archery. You can try walking on stilts. They have a maze. Rabbits that you can feed. So it's a nice place to spend a sunny day.

We've arrived at the lighthouse and it's just on a big rock out in the sea.
So to get here we had to take a boat. We've been traveling for about forty five minutes and as we were approaching the island it started to get really choppy. The waves are pretty high. So yeah, we're out here in the middle of the ocean. There is no land. It is just a pile of rocks.
I don't know what is worse. Air turbulence or choppy waters.
So right now we're making our way up the two hundred and fifty two steps that we have to climb all the way up to get to the top of the lighthouse. And apparently there is a couple of ladders too.
And here in the lighthouse they also have a very small chapel where people can get married.

The Most HIDDEN Underground Cities
Get more Tips here!
Have you ever imagined a life without the sun? How could we possibly survive? Today we'll show you how with the most impressive underground cities!
1. GROWING UNDERGROUND, LONDON:
In this city located in an old war bunker in London, they managed to sustain a whole farm. This seems almost impossible, however they did it by using a hydroponic, vertical, pesticide-free system. Also, they use the space much more efficiently, saving 70% of the water used on it.
2. EARTHSCRAPER, MEXICO CITY:
As you had already imagined, this is the complete opposite building to a skyscrapers, as it goes down towards the Earth core. 65 stories to be precise. It has a pyramid-shaped design and an open central space where daylight can flood in to the depths of the earth.
3. THE LOWLINE, NEW YORK:
The Lowline is a project based on the success of the Highline, an abandoned elevated railway converted into a lush public space. The aim is to give an unused trolley terminal a makeover. It's expected to be opened by 2020. The natural light would be directed below ground using a system called remote skylights based on parabolic reflectors and optic fiber cables.
4. RÉSO, MONTREAL: (ray-zo mon-tree-all)
This is the largest subterranean complex in the world and has been in use since the 1960s. It's a way of hiding from the terrible cold temperatures they suffer. We can find multi-level shopping centers, hotels, restaurants and metro stations. All linked by tunnels.
5. UNDERGROUND CITY, HELSINKI:
This underground city includes more than 125 miles of tunnels filled with everything you would expect in an overground city, and the best thing is that they have plans to continue to expand the subterranean public spaces.
6. SUBTROPOLIS, KANSAS CITY:
This city occupies 1,100 acres of abandoned limestone mines since 1964. More than 1,600 people work in this naturally climate-controlled, rock-carved space every day. We can find subTropolis houses and everything from cave-aged cheese to car storage space, and an array of small businesses. Also it naturally maintains temperatures between 18 and 21 °C all year-round.
7. UNDERGROUND SCIENCE CITY, SINGAPORE:
In Singapore they've had a space problem for a long time. So they designed this Underground Science City for up to 4,200 scientists, researchers, and professionals in Research and Development facilities. But also, there are many restaurants and shopping malls.
9) Burlington, U.K.
This is a city built by the British Government in 1955 in case of a nuclear attack. A 35-acre network of hidden entrances, streets, canteens, and purpose-built rooms to house the Prime Minister, the entire British government and the Royal Family. It even had a telephone switchboard and a hospital inside. However it's been closed off since 1991.
10) Derinkuyu, Turkey
This is an ancient multi-level underground city extending to a depth of approximately 60 metres. It is large enough to have sheltered as many as 20,000 people together with their livestock and food stores. This city could be closed from the inside with huge stone doors and had ventilation and running water.
Are you ready to live underground?

Finlandia-Talo (Finlandia Hall)
Built in 1971, Finlandia Hall is one of Alvar Aalto's most iconic works. Stately, angular and unmistakably Modernist, this striking building serves as Helsinki's main conference and concert venue, and is the current home of the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, founded by Robert Kajanus in 1882.

Located opposite Finlandia Hall, about 10 minutes' walk from Helsinki's city centre, this museum contains rich archaeological and ethnographic collections depicting Finnish life from the earliest times to the present day. The sections on prehistoric Finland and the culture of the Sami people of Lapland are particularly interesting, and the museum building, constructed in 1916, is a Helsinki landmark.

Senaatintori (Senate Square)
Dating back to the first half of the 19th century, Helsinki's neoclassical heart was constructed by German architect Carl Ludvig Engel, who was also the official architect of Tallinn in Estonia. Engel was heavily influenced by the architecture of St Petersburg, and the Senaatintori has been used as a stand-in for St Petersburg in numerous Cold War espionage films, including Gorky Park (1983), Reds (1981) and White Nights (1985). Facing a statue of Tsar Alexander II, the white-domed Tuomiokirkko is flanked by the grand neoclassical facades of the Government Palace, Helsinki University, Helsinki Cathedral and the National Library of Finland.
Opening Times: Daily dawn til dusk.
Admission Fees: No
Disabled Access: Yes
Unesco: No
Address: Senaatintori, Helsinki, Finland
Suomenlinna (Sea Fortress)
About 1.5km (1 mile) offshore from Eteläsatama harbour, the sea fortress of Suomenlinna was once the bastion of the Swedish empire, with a larger population than Helsinki itself. Founded in 1748 to protect the coast from Russian attack, the fortress island was finally surrendered to Russia in 1808. This superb fortification was one of the main reasons why the Russians moved the capital from Turku to Helsinki in 1812. Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, the fortress buildings contain the Suomenlinna Museum, the Ehrensvärd Museum, the multimedia Suomenlinna Experience, the Suomenlinna Toy Museum, the Military Museum's Manege, the Customs Museum and the WWI-era Submarine Vesikko, amongst other attractions, restaurants and bars. Despite the looming cannons, the rest of the island is a peaceful green haven, and locals flock here for summer picnics. During the summer months, there are daily guided tours around Suomenlinna in English, Swedish and Finnish. In the winter there are tours in English during the weekends. Helsinki City Transport runs regular ferries to Suomenlinna from Kauppatori (free with a Helsinki Card, journey time - 15 minutes). JT-Lines runs a waterbus service on the same route from May to mid-September.
Opening Times: Various (see website for details).
Admission Fees: Yes
Disabled Access: Yes
Unesco: Yes
Address: Suomenlinna, Helsinki, Finland

BEST OF FINLAND 2017 (HD) WILD NATURE AND OUTDOOR
Experiencias invernales outdoor en Finlandia 2017.
Cosas que puedes hacer durante el invierno finlandés. Las experiencias que verás en este video incluyeron una visita a Kajaani para continuar luego hacia Kuhmo e iniciar una visita a la salvaje Taiga
Allí estuvimos en las instalaciones del Hotel Kalevala con algunas lecciones de cross country skí. En Suomunsaalmi fuimos introducidos al nuevo parque nacional Hossa y nos quedamos en Jatkinsalmi log cabin. La comida local fue deliciosa e hicimos snowshoeing y fat biking en la nieva para luego proseguir a caminar sobre el lago congelado.
Al regreso la visita al Hossa reindeer park sirvió para conocer de cerca a los renos de la región.

Finnish Archipelago Travel Guide
One of the highlights of visiting Finland was our opportunity to be based in the Finnish Archipelago region for several days at a lovely little cottage guesthouse in Dalsbruk - also known as Taalintehdas. From there we had the opportunity to do adventure sports activities such as sea kayaking, canoeing, bicycling and hiking where we spotted wilderness. Moreover, the laid back pace of life and ample free time ensured we had a chance to sample Finnish cuisine such as rye bread, salmon, cream cheese, Finnish beer, Finnish chocolate and other delicacies such as Finnish pizza with smoked salmon! Finnish food was an immediate hit with our taste buds.

Nearby we had the chance to go island hopping by boat visiting around Kimito Island in the Kimitoon region. Some of the top highlights
From the town of Kasnas we caught a ferry heading to Rosala - home to a fascinating Viking Center. From there we continued on to Bengtskär lighthouse - the most remote lighthouse I've ever visited.
Prior to leaving we made sure to shop at a Finnish supermarket where we picked up Salmiakki, Salmiakki beer and Karl Fazer creamy milk chocolate.
Overall, it was a great change of pace from the chaotic city life we're used to Southeast Asia. We had a chance to relax and enjoy the wonderful scenery and hospitality in the Finnish Archipelago.
