January 2023 - Just after arrival in Tallinn in the morning, we left our luggage at the hotel next to the harbour and went rightaway to the ferry to Helsinki. We booked Eckeröline which is fairly cheap when booking a return that same day. At approx 2 pm we entered the skerries of Helsinki, one of them in the distance was Suomenlinna.

Of course that was not enough for a tick, thus first thing we bought a dayticket, took the tram to tuomiokirrko and walked the few meters to the line taking us over to Suomenlinna. The views of early sunset, the islets and ice floating on the baltic where one of the most magnificent impressions I ever had at the Baltic. We took advantage of the last sunbeams that day discovering the southern tip of the snow covered island. I can warmly recommend to come here in winter, and there is even a brewery in the Island. Except from Fortress buildings, there are some stereotypical wooden sheds and a toy Museum. 

2 hours later we took the ferry back to the city and still had a long nice evening drinking Beer, Shopping Moomins, watching Ice Hockey and eating finish liquerice.

After 10 PM the ferry went back to Tallinn, where we arrived early enough to theoretically still enjoy nightlife in Tallinn. But we just fell asleep and really enjoyed breakfast next morning.
