I was lucky on my first day in Helsinki to have blue sky and sunshine. The temperature was a bit above average for the time of the year and the street plants were still looking fabulous.
Havis Amanda is restored and back in her rightful place beside the harbour.
There are stunning buildings all over Helsinki.
Have lunch on a boat.
I met my cousin, who came down from Kovoula to meet me. We had dinner at her son’s restaurant, Bona Fide. It is a delightful small space with a Michelin rating. They serve innovative, modern Finnish delights made with love and local Finnish produce. Every mouthful is a delicious surprise.
Next stop Paris.
Another great Post on Helsinki it certainly looks fabulous. Love everything including the statue of girl with cross on. Your lunch looks yummy.

Helsinki is a fabulous city. I have been visiting now for more than 15 years and it seems to get better every year.
