Helsinki tram system was opened in 1891 and the oldest tram system in the world is the Swansea and Mumbles railway in Wales.

The tap water in Helsinki is just from the lake Päijänne. The Good stuff is the ground water. ;)

It was nice to see that you had good time in our capital city. You mentioned that you didn't see the old town and yes, of course because it doesn't exist. Helsinki is relatively young city, founded in 1550 and the original old town was several kilometers northeast from the current downtown and there's nothing left of it because it has burned long time ago. The city was moved to its current location in 1640 and the oldest preserved buildings are from 1700s.

Very comfy to see finland in summer, just a few months until it's here again.

Hi there! It seems like you were in Helsinki during the yearly Baltic herring market week, when real fishermen and their families come by boat even from far away islands in the large archipelago to the market square to sell their Baltic herring catch and home-made special sweet and dark "archipelago loaves". The Baltic herring (strömming in Swedish and silakka in Finnish) has been cured and prepared in many different ways and sauces. They're sold in tins or glass jars. This is a very old traditional market dating back several centuries, which is why some of the vendors on the boats are dressed in old-fashioned clothes for the occasion.

Welcome back to Finland and Helsinki in the summertime, when it will be warm and sunny!
P.S. A tip regarding the pronunciation of Finnish words: Without exception, every single word, no matter how long, is stressed on the first syllable. Do this, and your Finnish pronunciation has already improved remarkably! 😊
So, it's NOT HelSINki but HELsinki.

The lutheran style is more modest. It's something you can see everywhere in Finland.

Enjoyed your video. We were in Helsinki yesterday and loved it.

You forgot to visit the library, probably one of the coolest libraries in the world. Im going to finland over the summer, in october actually, so thank you so much for showing me the capital at that time of year.
Also, you guys make me smile alot with the goofy humour, thanks 😅

[elliamanda]

the first church you visited was orthodox thats why it was more decorated and the second one was lutheran which why it was more simple.

[Sokar]

[Elmoliini]

Helsinki's tram system is not the oldest in the world.

Regarding the Finnish tap water... Coca-Cola is made around the world by different local manufacturers who have a license from the Coca-Cola Company to produce and sell it for them.

When a company in a country wants to get in on the Coca-Cola bandwagon, among other steps they have to send samples of the local tap water to the Coca-Cola Company in the US so that they can analyze it and determine what kind of filtration and purifying steps have to be taken for the water to become "standard quality" to make Coca-Cola out of.

The Coca-Cola Company always specifies that the samples are not to be purified or filtered in any way beforehand. When the Finns sent their tap water samples, they got an angry letter from the Coca-Cola Company telling them that they had wasted their time and resources since the Finns had purified their tap water samples beforehand, and asked them to send new samples. But then the Finns explained to them that "no, really, that's just our tap water" :D

You missed the prettiest and most unique church of them all, the rock church. Of I were Christian, I would have been married there. I hope you get back and visit it. And a sauna with a cold dip, and cafe Regatta. :)

[mateuszo]

"The organ was really big..." That's what she said, literally! ;) ;)

The Senaatintori square is completely russian architecture. The german architect Carl Ludvig Engel had been in Sant Petersburg as an architect, and he planned the houses surrowning the square according to the buildings in the antik fashion in the middle on 1800:ties (1900 hundred century, american translation). Warren Betty filmed in this area and also in nearby Katajanokka the film Reds that supposed happened in Russia.
