Wonderful world

Vanhankaupunginlahti and Viikki: the wonderful world of birds and animals in Helsinki

Vanhankaupunginlahti is the largest nature reserve in Helsinki. This area is known as “bird paradise”, and there are about 300 species of birds. In the spring, you should climb the observation tower to admire migratory birds gathering in large flocks.

From Vanhankaupunnginlahti you can get to the nature trail of the Pornaistenniemi grove, and from there to the walkways leading to the island of Lammassaari. From Lammassaari, you can reach Kuusiluoto, a recreational island where sheep graze in summer.

In Viikki, the geographic center of Helsinki, you can admire the popular prints of grazing cows in a meadow.
