[Finland] World Heritage Site Suomenlinna Island

In the late 18th century, Finland, under Swedish rule, built a fortress on this island in preparation for attacks from Russia. Not only is the interior of the building, which is registered as a World Heritage Site, magnificent, but the island's rich nature is sure to soothe you. Beautiful green trees and grasslands, sunlight filtering through the trees, and blue sea and sky. It's a place that even feels divine, and the air was very clean. The island is small enough to walk around, making it perfect for a 3-4 hour tour. There are also stylish cafes and supermarkets, so you can tour without any trouble. 🚢Transportation: About 15 minutes from the city center by water bus (transportation passes can be used) 💰Price per person: Free #AbsolutelyFreeTrip
