HELSINKI FINLAND TOUR - Cathedrals & South Harbour!

Helsinki Finland Tour - Cathedrals & South Harbour

Our first few days in Helsinki

We finally get to see the city of Helsinki in Finland after waiting for 6 months in Estonia due to the global pandemic.

After all the waiting we hopped on a tram and made our way to the centre of Helsinki and began exploring by visiting the Uzpensky Cathedral and the market square and marina area. Then we began heading to see the Helsinki Cathedral when it rained! A lot, meaning we diverted and ran inside a cute coffee shop to hide. There, we decided to continue our exploring the following day instead, what’s another day when we’ve already waited six months! Luckily on the second day the weather was a little kinder to us and we finally got to check out the awesome Helsinki Cathedral.

Upcoming videos!

Join us next time as we explore more of what Helsinki has to offer including The beautiful Esplanade Park, the ultra modern kansalaistori square and The Sibelius monument as well as checking out the cool and quirky Design District.

————————————————
A British couple from just outside London, England. We got married in 2018 and decided instead of a honeymoon we’d travel the world together for a year. We saved money and travel points, quit our jobs, rented our house out and boarded a one way flight. We started this Youtube channel to share our experiences with friends, family and anyone who plans to travel to the places we’re visiting. We leave TKT tips/facts on our vlogs and blogs to give information that we wish we’d had before visiting. We hope you find our content useful :)

Lovely Helsinki looking forward to finding out more about this place thank you

[LucasWorldTravel]

I love cities with Trams. I love the walkways. I think stone and brick walkways are so beautiful and adds so much charm to a city. Helsinki is beautiful! Safe travels!

[shukrialsous]

Good luck, very cool I can't wait 🙏

Looks lovely. The red cathedral’s great but Helsinki Cathedral even more spectacular, as you say, plus beautifully upkept & Your drone footage was SO good, gave us all the best ‘view in the house’!
Good timing with that - wise move with sudden weather change!
Love the pool complex - super temperature & it’s situation by the water - Great spot for lunch too!
Thanks - Look forward to seeing more...👍

You make us who love great architecture realize we need time in Helsinki!

[jurgendiekmann]

Hi you two, from time to time I watch a film of yours. First time was when you stayed in Estonia. Seem's, you are still on tour - how unbeliveable! Great!

[SarahandMarek]

We've always wanted to go to Helsinki 😄 That solar bench was SO cool! It's good to know that it's a bit expensive there, so we can be prepared for that 😅 wait, what is a flying cinema!? Sounds very cool! Sorry about the weather, but at least you had better weather the next day 😉 that drone footage of Helsinki Cathedral 🤯 great video guys!

At 15:05 you Can see the marks of the 1944 Helsinki bombings on the statue. Traces of the war(s) can be seen in several statues and buildings in Helsinki. The city didn’t want to fix them, they wanted to leave them as memorials.

It looks beautiful, it looks like HD I enjoyed that good luck 🤞

[TheMapPinners]

Fun to see you in Helsinki! Good call on the supermarket sandwich to save some money, I've heard Finland if rather expensive, but looks like a destination worth visiting. That Orthodox church is beautiful! Really love the architecture. I didn't realize such large cruise ships came into this part of the world but South Harbor looks super nice. Would happily spend the whole day there swimming and relaxing :)

Hi! HSL is a transport authority rather than a company per se. They grant sets of routes to various private transport companies (Transdev, Nobina etc.) via tendering. HSL operates in a dozen of municipalities within the greater Helsinki region. Other major cities and regions have their own agencies/ authorities

[jean-marcdumas-perrin]

Thanks for this pretty good video (with a lot of details). 👍

[DjusLife]

That cathedral is beautiful!! So glad the sun finally came out for you guys and you found some cozy places to keep dry! We have always wanted to go to 🇫🇮 and are so excited for your video series here! Show us everything 😃

[TravelInteresante]

And Finland adventures begins! 5 euros for a sandwich is quite expensive, agreed. It looks so beautiful, really cool architecture they have. Skywheell reminds me of the London eye. Such a cute place to stop by and have some coffee. There's so much to explore as it seems!

[Explorcation]

Glad to see the weather on day 2 turned out to be better than day 1. It looked so windy! That was the first solar bench I've seen, which seems like a really cool idea. The city is really beautiful, and it's nice that you were able to find some reasonably priced coffee in an otherwise expensive city.

[seveninalladventures]

A solar bench?! Now that's something I've never seen before. What a beautiful place to explore!

[paanikki]

Nice video.

FYI, Almost all the areas you filmed are parts of a no-drone zone. There are several security-sensitive government buildings in the vicinity of the Market Square and Senate Square, so there is a permanent no-fly zone. It extends 6 or 7 blocks north and east from the Market Square, and also applies to drones.
There are signs, also in English, but it is easy to miss those. Usually one does not pay much attention to signs, when there are so many neo-classical buildings to look at...

[JUMALATION]

Yay, I saw my office window here! Right by the market square :)

[waynehiggs]

Looks like another great place, enjoy
