Poleeni, Pieksämäki

Poleeni, Pieksämäki

Christmas peace can be found from smaller cities. It's much more easier to find things to do when there aren't too much of everything. This christmas tree was found from Poleeni in Pieksämäki. In Poleeni there is also a nice library and a changing art exhibition.

What a great view! Jätkäsaari in Helsinki is worth a visit. Observation deck, shopping at Verkkokauppa.com (Finland’s best known, most visited and the largest Finnish online retailer), Computer Museum and eating out, all in one time! And on the top of that, from Jätkäsaari you can go on a cruise.
