從市區出發，搭車點在 Forum 購物中心的對面騎樓下，24 號電車可直達門口，散步跨過木橋就可抵達，如果覺得太早到，可以在西貝流斯紀念碑下，逛完之後沿著海邊散步到這邊來。這邊基本上是個民俗文化村，保留了之前芬蘭各地收集來的農舍建築，九月之後個農舍就關門了，但還是很適合來散步，看看建築，餵餵松鼠和小鳥。這邊的小動物算比較不怕人的。本身不是很大，適合 2 小時左右，之後可以搭 24 號直接回到... more »

From the city, take the car point in the Forum shopping center on the face of the building, the 24 electric car can be straight to the door, walk across the bridge can reach, if it is too early, can be in the West Bay Memorial Monument, after the stroll along the sea walk to this side. This is basically a folk culture village, preserving the farm buildings that were collected from all over Finland, and the September farm was closed, but it was a good place to take a walk and see the buildings, feeding squirrels and birds. The small animals on this side are not afraid of people. itself is not very large, suitable for 2 hours or so, then you can take the number 24 directly back to the city or near the Rock Church, and then stroll through the Rock Church and Natural Museum, then walk back to the city.

This historic meseuem is a must see in Helsinki. They transported antique Finnish houses and buildings to this island to become a showcase. The detail and history behind many designs is surprising and this is a place you don't want to miss in Helsinki.

Beautiful park, great way to see old Finnish culture and architecture. If you are on a budget you don't need to pay, you can still walk around and see everything from the outside, just not allowed to enter the buildings.
