Manchester Helsinki: There is color in Helsinki, one of Europe's most effective and progressive capitals, a pathmaker in modern architecture and a strong contributor to the decorative arts. Helsinki is a bright, modern port city of about 400,000
population, with every amenity that makes for a good, even luxurious, so-ijourn by foreign visitors. ;
There is unexpected color in several of the lesser cities, such as historic Turku (Abo in Sweden); seaside Porvoo; lakeside Savonlinna, with Olafj Castle, a photographer's dream; and even in big, industrial Tampere (Ti merfors), whose booster-name is "The Smokeless manchester helsinki."Newspapers vary in appeal as much in Britain as in America. The august leaders are The Times, of London, and The manchester helsinki Guardian, i of manchester helsinki. British terms, vis-a-vis American terms, are listed in various guides.
3. Trade and Fun Fairs Helsinki has a very large Industrial Spring Fair, usually occurring in the first half of April; and Rovaniemi, which practically straddles the line of the Arctic Circle, has an interesting Fur Fair in February-March. 4. Finland's Artistic Heritage This is best seen in the National Museum, at Helsinki, whose 60 rooms show Finland's forward march in living customs, culture and art, from prehistoric times till now. There are, in Helsinki's galleries, some fine early paintings, representing foreign schools, but no Finnish painting of merit developed until relatively modern times. |
