Helsinki July 2008

I made a little trip to Helsinki for the Bruce Springsteen concert at the Olympic Stadium, which was just great! But I also spend 4 days touristing around the city.
And I like zoo´s.
Korkeasaari, Helsinki Zoo, is on an island just 10 minutes ferryride from the Market Square. Not very big and the enclosures aren´t too photography friendly, dense nets and glass walls that aren´t that clean. But I had a good time any way.
Visited a lot of other places too. Suomenlinna, the old fort on another island, is wonderful. I have to go there again.
