Helsinki
Capital of Finland, Helsinki (Helsingfors in the local language) is a town approxmately the size of Bordeaux - 500 000 inhabitants. It's a recent town, built following the Russian way of architecture, and indeed one gets a strange feeling of eastern Europe by walking in its streets.
The photos below are the summary of my trip, from Umeå to Stockholm by bus, and from Stockholm to Helsinki by boat.

Helsinki
We arrive with the fog, which gives the city a bit of the atmosphere of London... We decide to visit the town by foot.
