The Szczecin Philharmonic is the main reason why Szczecin appeared under my radar.

What can we say about our stay at Scandic Passi in Helsinki? First, we have to say that it was one of the best hotels we have ever been. If you are asking yourself why, let us tell you our reasons. So, the hotel is beautifully designed to remember the area’s history. All the walls in the hotel are decorated with a circus theme that may sound a little creepy but works perfectly. From the reception area to the number of the rooms, everything looks so cool that you might feel like you want to copy it in your house later.

Before you arrive at Mariehamn by boat, there is a place you’re going to see. It’s a group of islets that seem to be the first glimpse of land, and even though there is a white pyramid there, this is not part of a fever dream. This is Kobba Klintar, an old pilot station that was used to assist the ships arriving in the capital of the Åland Islands.
