Sightseeing
Seuraasaari is history of rural Finland in a miniature in an open air museum on an island. It is number 3 destination in Helsinki according to Trip advisor. It is nicer in summer than in winter. There is a nice 20-30 min walk from home by the sea shore.
Next to Seurasaari you will find also Home museum of President Kekkonen that takes you back to the 70's. Have at least a walk through their premises, have a peek to his sauna, and check out the cafe.
