We didn’t realize we would love Helsinki as much as we did. Helsinki was very clean and organized with a great mix of old and new! Welcome to country #11!
In this video:
We arrive get off our ferry in Helsinki, Finland (we used St Peter Line to go to Russia and back to Finland)
Grab some coffee and a bite to eat for breakfast at the Forum mall (ranked as the best mall in the nordic region)

See the sights in Helsinki – which we ended up LOVING!
Hop on another ferry to Estonia (we used Viking Line for this leg)
Handy ferry booking site – Direct Ferries (this is what we used to find great ferry prices and book our ferry trips)
