"Helsinki locals travel to “sheep island” to unwind, have a picnic or to pet the summer tenants of nearby Kuusiluoto island (a flock of free-roaming and amicable sheep). It’s just a few kilometres from the centre, yet Lammassaari feels like a world away from the bustle of the city. To get there, hop on one of Helsinki’s city bikes and cycle to Vanhakaupunki before taking the wooden walkway to the island."
