Helsinki Harbor is busy for welcoming cruise visitors all over the world. They sit close to each other, as one feeds the other, so to speak. The arrival of cargo ships as well as fishing boats bring food to the market so quickly, you could say this is 'sea to table'!.

This country, and particularly the capital, commemorates its famous citizens, most which are recognized world wide.
