I was there about 10 years ago. I was sad not to be able to go to Tallinn on the ferry, as my mother is Estonian.

Helsinki itself is a really nice city. Clean, very pleasant, if a bit boring. I was there in early July and because it is so far north there was never really any proper darkness. Sun set around 11:30 and rose at about 3:30am with only dusk in between.

Also went and saw a Neil Young concert on Canada Day in their main hockey arena, which was bad ass.

One thing you'll notice about Finland is the incredible gene pool. Walking down the street is like walking through a supermodel convention. Canada has pretty women, but the sheer proportion of hot women in Finland is something to behold.
