Reviewed By OliwaVasicek - Helsinki, Finland
The very heart of central Helsinki and a very evocative park it is. I live nearby and often pass through it on my way to the shops, or just walk down it when the weather is good. Very clean, well manicured, with lots of benches as well as frequent free musical exhibitions on the covered stage at one end.

The atmosphere is unique. You have à feeling of returning to the place one hundred years ago. À walk in style of the artists Helene Scherfbeck is to be recommended for everyone. À visit to the cafe Gamla Stan is a must: coffee and some salty pastry or sweet cakes and some Apple juice.

Söderskär meaning southern rock is located at sea 1-2 hour boat ride from Helsinki, either from Market Square or Vuosaari (east), where you might have a parking problem. Lighthouse was built 1862 and operated until 1989. It is 32m tall. Location 60° 06′ 30″ N, 25° 24′ 48″ E. Until end of July, only half of the island is open and lighthouse due wild life sanctuary. Summary: recommend, make a day trip from Helsinki by boat.
8. Porvoo Old Town

If you are an art enthusiast and like to paint and draw you should plan to spend some time here. It is such a picturesque town that you can spend hours drawing and painting or photographing the beautiful houses, streets, river, nature, and environs of Porvoo. You can also buy some real art (and even the beautiful vintage Arabia ceramic ware) in a number of small and unique antique shops. I also recommend visiting the “Art Factory Porvoo” to see some interesting exhibition of contemporary Finnish artists. To reach the Factory you walk on the pleasant promenade along the Porvoo River for 10-15’ then cross a bridge until you reach Läntinen Aleksanterinkatu 1.

Nice place if you want to do some uphill running either on a path or stairs. A lot of people around though, can be a bit crowded. If you come by car there's plenty of parking space.
