Boat from Stockholm and then train in Finland I have family and friends along the way in Cologne, Hamburg, Copenhagen and Stockholm though, so it will probably only cost me an Interrail ticket and a night in Brussels. @Stu

I have family and friends along the way in Cologne, Hamburg, Copenhagen and Stockholm though, so it will probably only cost me an Interrail ticket and a night in Brussels.

A Temppeliaukion kirkko (Temppeliaukio church) and Helsingin tuomiokirkko or Suurkirkko (Helsinki Cathedral). The later is in the centrum, easy to actually find. Just block away from the sea. And next the Helsinki university campus area. The first one is as well near centrum, located in Etu-Töölö. About 15-20 minutes by walking from Hel.Cathedral. If using tramcar it only takes 5min. There are stations just about 100 meter from both churches. And in the centrum as well the Finlandia talo (Finlandia house) what is almost exactly between Hel.cathedral and Temp.aukio church. There goes trams next to it but it is different way. Next the Finlandia house is National Museum. And then there are the Sibelius Monumentti (Sibelius Monument). What is located in Taka-Töölö. There does not go tramcar near it. But there is a station about 500-600m away. Bus would be easy but I believe it is so much harder always move with busses on new city than trams because you can not always see all the stops from the map etc. I think I could actually make a Google map location map what could be then emailed.

(Stockholm is beautiful, well worth a few hours to check it out if you go that way). If I had the time and money I'd do the whole rail/sea trip regardless of any environmental concerns just because it looks awesome :-) Yeah, the boat sounds great – are you taking the boat from Stockholm or further away?
