Adventure is ready and waiting at the Central Railway Station: just hop on board Steam Train Ukkopekka 1009. The huffing and hissing of the steam, the mournful whistle, and the wonderful old coaches take you back to the golden days of the railways.

Adventure is also on the agenda when you visit the 250 year old Suomenlinna Sea Fortress, built among the islands off Helsinki. You can get your hands on the past in a blacksmiths or shipbuilders workshop. Don't be surprised if one of the original fortress inhabitants appears at your shoulder!

For some real old-fashioned excitement, spend a few hours living like a Viking. Ship navigating, mastering the long bow, ancient nature knowledge, and treasure hunting are guaranteed to awaken some buried Nordic genes.
