Go to these 5 MUST VISIT places in Helsinki, Finland!

[@merzbow89]

I love Finland! Especially the northern part :) Maybe you have been there before, but when in Helsinki I can definitely recommend to reserve a day to take a ferry and visit the fortress island of Suomenlinna. The ferry ride takes about 20 minutes, and it is an awesome historical place to walk around and explore at your own pace. There is also a small supermarket on the island, so you can buy some snacks and food in case you get hungry.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

There is a charm to the country for sure. Nate has been up north for work, but we haven’t explored yet. Someday! So much more to see!

[@vs123]

Beautiful city and clean

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Yeah, it’s a nice place! Thank you for watching!

[@adventuresbyrust]

Love the indoor market building! Architectural design ❤

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

We agree, it’s really a great place!

[@KalleKilponen]

5:27 Tippaleipä looks like a funnel cake because that's exactly what it is. 9:33 The coffee brand still exists, though it's changed a bit and is known as "Kulta Katriina".

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Ah! Very nice. Thanks for the info!

The birds at #4 are in the "Passer" genus and the species could be Passer domesticus - house sparrow. These domesticated with humans in e.g. urban environments as they specialise in picking their food from horse and bovine "droppings". With the disappearance of horses from the streets, these birds would eat things humans left over for them. In my youth, after a meal, we would take the table cloth/linen into the garden and shake the breadcrumbs etc out of that. The sparrows would be waiting in trees to dive onto these tiny pieces. Once abundant in the NL, they have slowly disappeared from urban environments. They live in social groups and if you want to make them a birds nest then it has to be a sort of apartment building as they need their promiscuity facilitated. Having stables with horses also helps, if your stable boys/girls move the manure to places where the sparrows can feast on it. If you don't care about these tweeties then use the manure from your stable as fertiliser in your flower garden (it's easier on the plants in there than bovine (B) BS). The common English name "sparrow" may confuse Dutch speakers of English in that we name a bird "spreeuw" and that reminds of sparrow - but the spreeuw is significantly larger than the sparrow, yet also in the order of Passeriformes and that "spreeuw" bird is called (common) starling in English (Sturnus vulgaris). I mean, Anglo-Saxon language hooligans name a common bird "tit" so the Parus major in Dutch is "koolmees" (coal mays) but in English called "great tit". Hooligans.

Super interesting! Much appreciated information!

[@ElleThe_Equestrian]

Well if you guys go to Finland, why not Estonia too? I’m from Estonia and I’d really like for you guys to see what’s going on here too. Here is also some places that are beautiful and kinda a must go. Trust me. I have never stepped outside of Estonia not ever been anywhere else literally. You guys need to come.❤

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

We did… stay tuned!

[@nathalienurse3336]

Is the number 13 tram still good to take a round trip tour of the downtown area? In The summer time they have the sweetest strawberries on sale in front of their fabulous dept store, 😮Stockmann, number 6!

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

We never used the tram… so not sure. Their public transportation seemed quite good, but Katrina loves those scooters! ;-)

[@Dutchman626]

As always: the music is great too.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Glad you enjoy!! Will be funny the day we throw a curveball and do all metal or hard techno… 🙃

[@Dutchman626]

Sounds good! I'm also into (symphonic) metal.🤗

[@ageoflove1980]

So my guess is that number 5 should have been the Suomenlinna Fortress, which I visisted and is quite awesome, especially the ferry ride over there but Nate was like... Yeah Im done for today, lets just make something up :D

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

We had a bunch of places, but time was a bit short and many of our top choices were closed on a Saturday! 🙃

[@ageoflove1980]

Great vlog! I have been to the north of Finland but never been in Helsinki.. One day 🙂 The last church is the Orthodox church as many Russians from St. Petersburg travelled to Helsinki for a day when the war was not yet started. There was an convenient trainline to and from Helsinki to St. Petersburg but now the borders are closed for Russians.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Thanks! Nate visited St. Petersburg years ago and they talked about how all the Finnish teenagers would come over the border to party for the weekend…. Such a mess now….

[@Dutchbelg3]

@@nateandkatrinadotheworld I travelled to Moscow and St. Petersburg during 10 years for business. There are beautiful sites. Russia is intriguing but Putin made it into a Soviet Union v2.0 .. he’s not for the Russians solely for Putin, Putin and Putin. The man is ultra rich !

[@finnishculturalchannel]

You just don't belong to a museum yet. Wait for couple of decades and maybe you'll get there. The memory lapses sure aren't the first signs to emerge and the jazz music isn't the most hippest genre at the moment. Plus your dialogue has that old couple dialogue vibe to it. Thumbs up.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

We will take it!! Thanks for watching!

[@Paul_C]

Did you have a chance to visit that part of Russia that was liberated? Though I suppose that might be not possible for the average tourist right now. Oh well, should you want to return, I would advise Oulu in winter. A paradise for winter cycling, according BicycleDutch 😂 ❤

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

No, that would be very cool! Nate visited Russia for work a few years ago (before current invasion)… He liked the people and the sights quite a bit.

[@squidcaps4308]

If tippaleipä feels like cracking tooth: go to a dentist, right now.. Now, to be fair there are sometimes harder bits but they rarely are the kind that would make one think it is going to break anything.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Nate ate the whole thing. 😂

[@jpdj2715]

Next stop Café Opera?

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Not on this trip… ;-)

Sorry to hear. That’s a beautiful place for a wedding.

0:40 this map is *FALSE* because you did go to Luxembourg and made a video about it, in December last year. Don't think we don't notice.

Great-grand-mother is 3 generations before you, so assuming equal chances for all genes, you have 1/8th of her. Equal chances never happen, though. If she was the female-female-female ancestor, then you have her mitochondria (not human DNA but important), and your X chromosome (brain anatomy, vision) is very dependent on the female line (for men). Women get a complete X chromosome copy from dad, boys nothing. Which might explain why some fathers "don't understand their sons." Finland has had Russian rule and probably gene injection, but also Swedish AFAIK. The "real" Fins often have a bit of what's now called "Asian" DNA that IMO stems from a period when the Northern Eurasian region from Finland to the Pacific was inhabited by peoples that still needed to mutate into white v Asian.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

That is a very detailed breakdown! Nate’s 23 and Me DNA test thing shows him as 9.8% Finnish…
