▲▲Suomenlinna Fortress
The island guarding Helsinki's harbor served as a strategic fortress for three
countries: Finland, Sweden, and Russia. It's now a popular park with several
museums and a visitors center located about five minutes from the boat dock.
The free Suomenlinna guidebook (stocked at the Helsinki TI, ferry terminal,
and the visitors center) covers the island thoroughly.
