We did a tour here on our own. It was raining hard this morning, so we took a tram ride to the farthest point that we wanted to see, then worked our way back walking to the ship. Total distance was probably 2 miles. I’m guessing that if we added all the ports together, we probably have walked over 100 miles.
Our first stop was the Rock Church. This church was carved out of a wall of solid granite. The roof and many of the features were copper.
We next went through the Contemporary Art Museum and the National Art Museum. This was a high dose of culture for me for one day. We got some photos in the Contemporary Museum, but were not permitted to photograph in the other one.
We saw a folk art performance on the city square on our way back to the ship, saw two huge churches, and visited a number of shops.
When we got back to our ship, we saw another ship the same size as ours, but it was a ferry boat. It seems that the taxes are so high in Finland, and therefore prices so high, that people travel on these huge ships just to buy items that are duty free.
