This ship is just outside of the market hall and is a restaurant today. That's why nobody cares whether it is completely frozen. :-)

The massive ferries of the Viking line sitting at the Skatuddskajen at the Eteläsatama (South Harbour).

We took a small ferry towards Suomenlinna island, and we had a much better view of the Viking line ships.

...and we could see the gorgeous skyline of Helsinki from the waterside! In summer, the trip to Suomenlinna must be equally beautiful.

Suomenlinna invites for long walks, which may be even longer during winter time, because you can walk on the ice! To warm up afterwards, you will find a number of cafes on the island and at the pier of the ferry.

This is the Pohjoissatama (Northern Harbour). I guess these ships will not go anywhere soon. :-)

The beautifully renovated street of Kanavaranta.

The Old Helsinki Market Hall at the Etelaranta close to the South Harbour. Here, you can get everything for a delicious meal.

The university library at the Senat Square Senaatintori. It is situated in a old building with beautiful wall paintings.
