Fortress of Suomenlinna

Finns have two colors of hair, one is light blonde and the other is dark blonde. [covering face] When I went to Suomenlinna, I was on the same boat with a group of blonde little people. Everything was perfect except that they didn't speak English! [Yeah]

The fortress of Solmerina is the often-called Fort Finn, and you can understand it as soon as you tell the Finns. This fortress is not in the city center, you have to take a boat to an island. Fortunately, a day transportation ticket in Helsinki can be used, no extra tickets are needed. In summer, and in the boat to the King's Gate, there is no need to return the same way, better than in winter.

This is an 18th century naval fortress that is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is located on several small islands opposite the center of Helsinki and can be reached by ferry. Here you can visit the historic military museum, explore ancient tunnels and forts, enjoy magnificent views of the bay and city, or relax on a picnic on the grass. The fortress is also an active cultural center with many studios, galleries, cafes and restaurants.

The fort is built on a series of small islands in the sea off Helsinki, specifically the Big Black, Little Black and Wolf Island. The fort is an ancient coastal fortress, which is very important to the geographical location of the sea from the Gulf of Finland to Helsinki. Built more than 250 years ago, the Finnish Fort is a masterpiece of Swedish designer and artillery officer Okostin. It is one of the world's largest military fortresses in the sea defense and is also the most important and famous attraction in Finland, where there are churches, military barracks, city gates and other monuments. There are a few marine military relics in the world. There are 10 museums on the island, including the Coastal Battery Museum, the Wisko Submarine Museum and the Doll Toy Museum. In 1991, the Finnish castle was listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

You have to take a bus boat from the pier in front of the presidential palace. Asked, Helsinki bus day tickets can also be used, it is recommended to buy. The boat runs every 40 minutes or 1h, and the itinerary is about 15 minutes. In winter, there are not many museums in Fort Finnish, but the natural landscape and architecture are very beautiful, especially suitable for walking around, very comfortable.
