First impressions of Helsinki. Esplanadi, waterfront, city center.
Snapped these right outside the train station when I arrived. And these grouchy guys are protecting the world for train travelers, I suppose.
Rolling luggage and cobblestone streets do not make happy friends.
After checking in, I took a stroll down to the Espanadi.
It’s Helsinki. On the Espanadi.
Front and back and back and front from both sides. Plus a sea bird.
Senate square.
Senate Square.
On the edge of the market place on the water front. More on that the next day.
Bicycles, bicycles, bicycles. Fuzzy bicycles. Sorry about that.
An shopping center – on many levels. As all the shopping centers all are in this urban setting.
And a dollar store.
