We have been to Helsinki more than a few times in the past couple of years. Every time that we are there, we try to stay in different hotels so we can explore a little bit more of this amazing city. This was our goal when we booked our stay at Scandic Paasi, an amazing hotel located in an area of Helsinki called Siltasaari.
Helsinki is one of the best destinations in the north, the city thrives with life in the summer and warmth in the winter. You can have 24/7 day time without a single drop on night during the June, July and August and endless options of activities during the cold months of the year. Unlikely most cities in Europe, Helsinki will not stop just because there’s some ice on the road.

You can find the Radisson Blu Seaside in the beautiful area of Helsinki known as Ruoholahti district. This former industrial harbor area of Helsinki is less than 15 minutes of walking from the city center. This is where Fotostrasse stayed when we visited Finland in the middle of January for NBE Finland.
Temppeliaukio, whose name can be translated from Finnish as Temple Square, is the official name of, what we would like to call, the Church in the Rock. Some people call it the Rock Church but we don’t care about the name of this beautiful building as much as we care for how beautiful it is.
