In Helsinki:

Seurasaari (an open air museum of old buildings from all over Finland)

In Turku:

Cathedral, castle http://www.turku.fi/Public/default.aspx ... ntentlan=2

and the Kings' Road, historic route from the Russian border across southern Finland to Turku.

I'd easily recomend Turku
http://www.turku.fi/Public/default.aspx ... ntentlan=2

It has an old town conserved as outdoor museum, and a castle. But it's nicer in summer. A bit ugly in winter.

Helsinki: Suomenlinna

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suomenlinna

Tampere, first industrial town

Just what I know, actually...

I haven't visited much more

I guess we can both google quicker than underdog90 who couldn't find ANYTHING on Finland on the whole of the www

Actually I was eating an orange.... so you must type very slowly.
