Tips from locals
Beautiful green island with few buildings and mostly forest. Some 10mins boat trip from central market square.
Island hopping in Helsinki. Secret of Helsinki, great place for walking, swimming and picknicks. Former closed military island offer amazing birdlife. Just listen.
Former army island, now open for public. Less crowded than Suomenlinna, but already quite touristy. If you want more peace and quiet, go visit Mjölö (Isosaari).
