My Escapes Finland Helsinki Cold Helsinki Business Trip Boat Watching in Helsinki's Port Area

Boat Watching in Helsinki's Port Area

March 9, 2014
[...]

Because Helsinki is a port city, I couldn't leave the walk along the coastline out...
At some point, Helsinki looked a very little bit like Stockholm.

There's not much to comment about this, better view the photos.

Thankfully my hotel was situated in the port area, so it was easy to discover the nearby ships and other attractions.

What I didn't like about this part of Helsinki was the fact that anyone could literally walk into the sea - no lights, no fences, nothing was attracting the attention. I didn't see a single "hey be careful" sign anywhere...

Here are several photos of what I saw in this area...


Industrial area and homes

A huge crane in the port. I could even imagine a luxury apartment up there.

Helsinki Catamaran

I love catamarans!
Actually, I think these are more abundant in warmer waters.
