Helsinki -Moi Suomi!



One Day in Helsinki -Moi Suomi! 


Hello guys! Here we are again :) 
Thought I have to share with you some pictures from my last trip to Helsinki. Unfortunately it was very quick tip, just for a few hours and actually I was visiting my friend but luckily I had couple of hours to have a lovely walk in rainy Helsinki :) 



So I arrived on ferry Tallinn- Helsinki. Weather wasn't very welcoming but as they say-
 there is no bad weather, the thing is always in unsuitable clothes :P  



So I let you enjoy some pictures with maybe my little comments on these :) 
It was my first visit in last 3 years and I did missed this city. 



The first railway station in Helsinki was built in 1860, but it was rebuild again and particularly this one was opened in 1919 so it's nearly 100 years old!  




One of my favorite spots and main landmark in Helsinki city  -  Helsinki Cathedral. 
The church was originally built from 1830-1852 as a tribute to the Grand Duke of FinlandTsar Nicholas I of Russia.
 It was also known as St Nicholas' Church until the independence of Finland in 1917.




Lovely detail - operating tram network, main transport in city centre. 




Beautiful scandinavian city. 












And of course cup of lovely coffee :) 



Hope you will enjoy your walk in Helsinki as I did :)

Absolutely stunning place with impressive history. 
There are lots of legends and ghost stories about Dartmoor. 



Dartmoor covers 954 km2
The entire area is rich in antiquities and archaeology. 
This is very popular tourists destination with prehistoric
 standing stonesstone circleskistvaenscairns and stone rows.



This amazing place was mentioned in quite a few great books as The Hound of the BaskervillesSir Arthur Conan Doyle,  The Adventure of Silver BlazeR. D. Blackmore. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fictional 1994 Quidditch World Cup final between Ireland and Bulgaria was hosted on the moor.




It's a perfect place for a walk to relax after long week and just enjoy nature :) 
Here are some pictures of Dartmoor I made during my walk around Haytor Rock.
