Finland is the land of a thousand lakes. All
together there are around 188 000 of them in the whole country. Surprisingly enough
in Helsinki itself we barely find any sweet water except for a few ponds. Most
of the water you can see in Helsinki is actually the sea. Even what appears to
be a lake like Töölön Lahti (on the picture) is in fact just a bay.
But Finland is also called the land of a
thousand islands (179 000 to be correct). And here Helsinki has a lot to put to
the table. The Helsinki archipelago consists of around 330 islands. How many of them have you visited already?
