I'd like to correct you on a small detail: the price for a single adult ticket from the airport to the centrum actually costs ~5€. I think you must've bought the ticket that covers the far ourtskirts of the fare zone. But nice video overall :)

Thanks for the correction. That must be what I was looking at when I pulled the number - my numbers are off by a bit then!

I'm glad you enjoyed Helsinki as much as I did, but I wonder how many ways you can misspell SUOMENLINNA in one video? LOL I can understand mis-pronuncitation, as Finnish can be difficult, but a little more attention to detail when editing and producing videos can make them even better.

Hey! I'm not sure if you saw in the video but you'll see that from the arrivals section of the airport, I took an escalator downstairs one level and it's at a desk named "Airpro Travel Service" at 0:25. Once you head down there, it's pretty easy to spot!

Actually Northwest Finland is part of Scandinavia. But yeah, only Norway and Sweden are really Scandinavia. Icelanders, Danish, Swedish and Norwegians are still Scandinavians even though Iceland and Denmark all not part of Scandinavia. Finland is only part of Scandinavia by the northwest area, but Finns do have pretty Scandinavian culture. All together they're Nordic people.
