      I love the Military Ford and yes I would love to explore some of those tunnels as well in it. The Market Hall seems great as well. Swimming in the sea seems so cold especially in this weather... To be fair everything in Finland looks great!

    I lived your beautiful country in the 1970’s
    I nearly married their
    My memories are still so vivid and I have a huge nostalgia for all of your country.
    I ran the 83 marathon screamed on Lasse Viran and lived on Suomenlinna.
    I love the place.
    I know live in Miami but my memories never fade
    Great work
    Love Michael

    I enjoyed your video so much. It’s pretty much the best one about Helsinki on TH-cam so far... I had hard times to know more about Finland and it’s major cities, thanks to you I started to draw a picture of what the country may offer. You were fair and just and to the point. Thank you again for the effort and time spend to make this video!

    Wonderful video. I LOVE Helsinki! When I was there I stayed in a cozy centrally located Air BnB apartment that had its own sauna, which I enjoyed many evenings. Although Finland is not cheap, food in particular, the apartment was very reasonably priced. I also really enjoyed taking a sauna at Loyly, and then jumping in the very chilly Baltic Sea!

    • @EileenAldis
      @EileenAldis  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is the most useful city guide to Helsinki that I've ever seen - what to see, where to stay and what to eat at the market. Thank you so much. What a wonderful place.
    Hard to know what impressed me the most - maybe the church cut out of the rock. That's really something. Safe travels Eileen and Marc!

    • @EileenAldis
      @EileenAldis  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks :) The Rock Church is really cool. Never seen something quite like that before. I also loved walking around the island fortress and taking the cruise out on the water. Great view of the city!

    Amazing compilation! I didn't think you could top your last video on Helsinki, but somehow, you've managed to do it again! Another video with so much to do in Helsinki! I've already added it to my bucket list :) The church was amazing - and over 400 concerts per year! I loved the shot of you and Marc in beach chairs wearing your winter coats! LOL!

    • @EileenAldis
      @EileenAldis  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks a lot, Linda!! That’s so nice to hear! I also did a double take at 400 concerts per year. Wow. That’s one busy church! Hahah sitting at the beach in our pyjamas and coats is one of my favourite memories from Finland. We had the whole beach to ourselves (as you can see) and total peace and calm. I could get used to that morning routine ❤️

  • @ilona7230
    @ilona7230 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Really great work! I'm a local from Helsinki, and I find it very hard to name things to do in Helsinki at this time of the year. I actually maybe got some tips to myself, for example the Helsinki cinema that I didn't even know about :D Next time somebody asks what to do in Helsinki, I recommend this video :)

    I wonder what it would be like covered in snow? WAY nice I’ll bet! Buildings seem to have windows everywhere, to bring outside….IN!
    …Even the featured hotel.... (a prison!).... has clean lines and nature all around…..The city has an outdoor sea pool!

    Did you know that Alvar Aalto designed the "kidney" shaped swimming pool? So in doing so, he had a big influence in the skateboarding scene. One of his friends from the U.S. wanted one and then the design spread across California. I believe it was in the late 70's when California had a drought and the swimming pools were emptied, skaters occupied them and experienced something that would change the scene forever.

    The Rock Church open rock face has also theological dimensions. It shows an imperphect surface like we people are inperfect also, and often hard to soften to a more life supporting path.
    And, the Church is carved into rock. Jesus is described in the Bible as the Foundation Rock, the solid rock on which the Church of Christ on this Earth rests. Then it also links to the Old Testament. Like Psalms etc. where it's says, you're my hiding place, Oh Lord, my Rock of Salvation, my castle (in the mountains). New Testament speaks of this as the dimension as the Christians are hidden in Christ, are part of Christ. In this Church the person is inside Jesus, inside the rock, inside the hiding place - like inside the body of Christ.
