Early start to the day from the Hilton Helsinki Strand at Hakaniemi.

Caught the 6 Tram into the city to catch the first ferry to Suomenlinna (Sveaborg) - Sea Fortress.

Suomenlinna is an 18th-century sea fortress and nature area with centuries-old artillery and defensive walls, spread across 6 linked islands.

One of the advantages of getting there early was how quiet it was, plus being able to enjoy the sunrise after 9:30am.

Spent all morning walking around the fortifications, before heading back to Helsinki to enjoy some Finnish Salmon Soup at the Old Market Hall.

After a few hours walking around the city, I jumped on a tram to make the trip to Cafe Regatta. The Hot Chocolate, Cinnamon Roll & Donut was well worth the visit.
