Do you like wondering and exploring the world, cultures, people? I simply love doing that! My trip to Helsinki I would
consider one of the best trips I have ever had. Helsinki fascinated
me with contrasts much more than I could have imagined. I am not by
any means an expert in architecture, but I felt like there is a blend
of Western and Eastern architecture which gives the city a special
vibe. It was impressive to see some neoclassical treasures, for
example, the Helsinki Cathedral which reminds of the Russian Church,
and after one hour to be surrounded by buildings having the Scandinavian
touch. Of course, because of history and the border with Russia there
are many people speaking Russian and you can even find Russian shops
(see pictures below). As for shopping (of course, I have to
mention that..) many brands seen in Helsinki can be found in the whole Scandinavia, although you can find a great variety of European brands, for example
“Mango”. Stay tuned to find out what the purpose of my trip was!
