Seurasaari & ulkomuseo: I took the 24 bus from central Helsinki to amble around this enchanted island of preserved homesteads and buildings dating from the 1700s. They were all collected and brought here. The English language tour was fantastic – we even had a demonstration of the stocks outside the church! The beach was small and the water mild – I swam! I also loved seeing the very tame red squirrels.
