Helsinki is a capital of Finland with population of 630000 people. Here you can use subway,trams,busses and even boats, because Helsinki have many islands near.

Now lets move to our trip:

Day1

Serena Aqua park

First we visited Serena Aqua park for half day , its nice place for family and to relax in sauna and Jacuzzi after hard week :)
Males and females are separate in sauna complex - so its better to have company like 2+2 .
We visited this place at 10 September in last days of sun in Finland :) But this aqua park works at winter too, just no outdoor activities.
I would rate this place for 8/10 its pretty big aqua park, many water attractions here plus solid sauna complex with hot water Jacuzzi.

Linnanmaki Amusement Park

After Serena we wanted to see more town so we thought about Amusement park with ferris wheel to see town from air:)

This place is fun , but a little expensive like 30-40 euro for wristband for evening or 8 euro per 1 ride .
They have some hardcore things that even adult can find exciting , so its great place for all ages.

Day 2:

We decided to go to port and travel to islands and visit museums and zoo.
Near Port we found some cathedrals and statues, so we made some photos:)

Nice post bro!! You rock😎

I will post about europe countries, starting in Barcelona, but I will record videos with my go pro 😉😉

Cya mate

nice i have some videos too for future posts , but without gopro haha

Thanks for sharing. Some beautiful pictures of the location and the animals. Interesting that the hot tubs are separated and a good idea to go 2×2

in sauna all are naked that is the reason for separation :)
There is non separated hot tube i think , but its always crowded, so its better to go to sauna complex.

Cool story, it seems you had fun here.

Btw...

The first island you visited (the one with the U-boat) is called Suomenlinna.

The zoo you mentioned is Korkeasaari, and while it's true you can take a ferry to get there, one can also take a metro to Kalasatama and walk across a bridge, or take the bus 16 from Rautatientori. :)

I agree that Linnanmäki is quite expensive. I took the Leo & Miro there this Summer and it practically cost us a hand and a leg. ;)

Serena... It's been a while since I've personally been swimming there, last time I was a kid. A couple of years ago though me and my father took Leo there and he seemed to like all the activities there. It rained a drizzle all the time and me and my dad were having a beer while Leo swam. (I had skin problems so I couldn't join him.)

I'm planning to take the boys to Serena some time in the future though.

Thanks for sharing your vacation photos and stories with us. :)

thnx for more info about islands, about Serena i think Jacuzzi + sauna is worth for adults to relax , while kids are in water attractions.

Good to see that you enjoyed my neighbour city - the small town of Helsinki :)

It sounds as though you had a great time in Helsinki !
You certainly packed a lot in to your trip.

good country ♥ love it
