You might be surprised. Helsinki does not feel like a large city. It's not at all like US equivalents. Traffic is very light too-- when I'm there I get around largely by foot or taxi (and occasionally by train).

Also in the summer the beaches are warm and the women beautiful. Scary beautiful.

I love Helsinki... and sure miss those trips...

Depends on your definition of summer It's not that short, but it's not mediterraneran plastic-melting heat. If I was home, I'd call it late spring but they were pretty adamant it was summer

Never been to Helsinki but I'm pretty sure they're beautiful even during the rest of the year

The parkas make it more difficult to appreciate that.
