HELSINKI

Lutheran Cathedral


Esplanadin puisto


The Church in the Rock entrance.


Yep, it's actually a church carved into the rock. Really clever name.

Looking up


Suomenlinna fortress


The harbor at Suomenlinna


The island is also a popular picnic spot


Bunker


The tomb of Augustin Ehrensvard, who designed most of the fortress


One of the coolest tombs of the trip
