Ahh March is low season so it was probably all closed up! It’s amazing in the snow isn’t it…that ice on the water on the ferry over is a sound I’d never heard before either and was such a special experience! Thanks for reading and have a lovely day 🙂

Oh I didn’t even see half this list when I went! It was March, maybe it was closed or maybe I was just oblivious to the rest of the island. It was covered with snow and you’re right, it’s such a sight. I especially loved the ferry ride and hearing the ice sheets break. That’s not a sound that I had heard before.

Ahh that must have been awesome going from Helsinki to St Petersburg. Yeah it’s definitely worth exploring and I can’t wait to get back to Finland one day too 🙂

Makes me want to return to Finland. Looks like an interesting island to visit. We took the cruised from Helsinki to St Petersburg. Thanks for sharing and love those photos.

Ahh yes it’s definitely worth a decent amount of time. We arrived at about 9am, and walked round for about 1.5hrs exploring outside. We then did the war museum 10.30-12.30, had lunch and did a couple of the other museums and submarine – leaving at around 4pm. It was well worth giving it a lot of time 🙂 Hope you get to go back soon!

Quite pleased you say this is a full day excursion. I’d planned to visit here on my last day in the city but overslept and didn’t want to rush it, knowing I’d definitely come back to Helsinki.

Looks like there’s plenty to see on the island :). Top of my list for the next visit!

Looks beautiful but freezing haha! I find that visiting in offseason can be nice because it avoids some of the crowds – but then things can be closed. Oh how I miss exploring!

Absolutely freezing, but most of Europe is in January so it’s still good to get out and explore 🙂 No it definitely doesn’t, it’s crazy to think it hasn’t even been independent for that long really! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day 🙂
