i fell in love with helsinki. i knew i'd like helsinki the most out of other scandinavian cities i visited even before i went here. picking up the cities i wanted to go to, helsinki has always been the one i wouldn't take out. i like how it's underrated and how it has this cold and gloomy image even though you have no idea how it might look like.
i like how simple and low profile the city is. it doesn't try to scream like copenhagen. it's subtle and it's chill. i enjoyed being there not as a tourist but i felt like i wanted to live here and i could imagine my life as a resident. i enjoyed much walking down the street, visiting places, sitting by the water on sunset.. and also they have their own "helsinki design district" which is very cool and i haven't had the chance to visit the most of it.
though it's very enjoyable in summer (in my very own definition of "enjoyable in summer" which is cold and breezy), i'm curious how it might be on a colder season. i can imagine it looking very melancholic with all the chill, though i'm not sure how cold it would be. but helsinki, i will definitely go back one day.
