HELSINKI, FINLAND | Suomenlinna Sea Fortress | Our Self-Guided Tour

Our next stop on our Baltic Cruise, onboard the Carnival Pride, was Helsinki, Finland. We ventured out on our own and found the public transportation to get over to the historical Sea Fortress Island aka Suomenlinna.

This was so well done! What a great family excursion! Really impressed with Matthew’s knowledge and skill!

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

Thank you!!!

[@justjulesinmi]

The "M" on the ticket machine is probably for the Metro/subway? Lots of good information, guys!

[@akuankka321876]

Yep. You can use that same HSL ticket on Metro also.

[@akuankka321876]

Helsinki actually has the northernmost metro system in the whole world. Very clean and efficient aswell.

[@stevebartley628]

Group day tickets are great bargains throughout Europe.

[@stevebartley628]

In Stuttgart Germany it was about 12 Euro which the 4 of us used for 9 different trams/buses/light rail - less tha 40 cents per leg

[@stevenz2234]

Another interesting V-Log, it's good to see the whole family enjoying the day. BTW Congrats on 50K Subs.

Nice vlog! Carnival Pride was returning to its birth place.

[@AmyPavlot-k7l]

Great job Matthew!

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

Thank you!!!

The stuff was built by finns, but with russian money.

What a lot of tourists don't know is that there is also an open prison on the island. So, some of the workers you saw could've been inmates. They serve the very last bit of their sentence, after good behavior etc. of course, in open prison where they can live in their own apartments and work on the island.

[@DanielLukeFields]

that food market was great when we went. fantastic.

Nice video. I live in Helsinki metropolitan area and like a lot of watching this kind of videos where I can see the familiar places through the eyes of tourists. Did you know that Carnival Pride was built only about a kilometer away from that place where it was docked on your cruise? She got back there where she was born a little over 20 years ago! Next I will watch your Stockholm and Tallinn videos. They are very familiar cities to me because I have visited both of them so many times that I don't even know how many.

[@williamgallop9425]

I was happy to live in Suomenlinna and help the restauration in early 1980's. My handwork is still visible in front of the Warmuseum.

[@lindastover9541]

Great video ❤❤❤❤

[@2azTravelers]

Great tips and great video. It's a joy to see you all enjoying these ports!!

[@gwelte]

Audio level note: The sound for the added music was a bit loud when compared to the speaker audio. Not bad, but I did have to reduce my volume while it played.

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

Thanks for the heads up!!!

[@heideleskun1163]

MAN do the sisters look a like.

[@denisemenninger1984]

What a great day. Loved it as always.

Great video thank you from Ohio fellow cruisers :)!

[@NauticalNurseNancy]

I imagined by this time you were feeling a bit weary. How nice to spend the day on your own! The day passes seemed like the perfect way to get around!❤

[@petrusinvictus3603]
