"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."

Great place to go for a walk, go for a picnic or birdwatching. It's near Helsinki so it's very easy to access. It can get a bit busy on sunny and warm days. The only downside is that there are not any toilets. At least i have not seen any so far.

Beautiful place to go for a walk in Helsinki. You forget that you’re still in the city for a minute, while you’re surrounded by peace and quiet.

A great place for short walks through the nature to get away from the busy life in Helsinki and a perfect spot for bird watching/photography.

An excellent place to relax with a walk and bird watching. It is not far and take more than 20 minutes from the Helsinki Central Railway Station

Great escape near the city, you wouldn't say you are just 20min out of the centre by the nature around you. Wide pathways through the reet make it also accessible for people with strollers or wheel chairs. The island itself is not that easy any more but the pathways and view points is more than half the charm of the nature area! A must visit, in autumn or winter really great, but remember to take some snack and (hot) drink with you as there are no stores nearby. But please take your rubbish back with you 😉

Absolutely lovely place to hike in the city. Easy to get there and have a walk. Easy trails and nice views.
