Helsinki, Finland

Our short trip to Helsinki resulted in us completing the milestone of visiting all the Scandinavian capital cities. In comparison to its peers, Helsinki lacks an abundance of pretty historical buildings like Copenhagen or Stockholm; as it spent a lot of its history caught in the middle of the war between Russia and Sweden. However, the absence of grand UNESCO listed monuments was quickly forgotten as our adoration of the city was confirmed when we discovered some amazing salmon sashimi. Loving Scandinavian salmon!
