Uusimaa Travel Guide

Finland

Panorama of the coast of Hanko, Finland
Climbing the steps to the Lutheran Cathedral of Helsinki, Finland (Aug 2014).
Beautiful houses in Helsinki. View over Kaisaniemenlahti (Bay of Kaisaniemi) to Siltasaari.
This is panorama shot with telelens from Näsin kivi (rock) which has this sightseeing terrace on top of the rock. From this rock you can see most of the Porvoo river and central Porvoo. It has free parking lot near by and only couple kilometres from highway going to city center. Porvoo is only 50km from Helsinki, capital of Finland. I recommend this rock while walking and sightseeing Porvoo. #BvSApplication #urbanjungle
Built in 1748. A must see if in Helsinki!
