Located on islands off Helsinki, Suomenlinna is a unique historical monument and one of the largest maritime fortresses in the world. Its history is closely entwined with that of Finland and the Baltic region. Helsinki can also thank Suomenlinna for its early growth and prosperity.
We took our german guest Natascha on a little boat trip to Suomenlinna sea fortress today. The sun was shining, the fish were almost jumping and we had a good, relaxing time. My father lived his childhood in Suomenlinna and I lived there for one summer myself. It’s a real Eldorado for many people and the ones who have managed to get a home there are the lucky ones.
