They say that few things impress first-time visitors to Finland more than the midnight sun in summertime. In Helsinki the sun sets for only a couple of hours on the longest day of the year. The long white and sunny days gives us all a great opportunity to enjoy the sea, which is an essential part of Helsinki.
Many guided excursions are offered, making it easy to discover the water and islands. The islands also provide beautiful settings for dining in many idyllic island restaurants.
The dinner of the IIAS2009 conference is also hosted by the sea at the restaurant of the Hilton Helsinki Kalastajatorppa hotel, overlooking the Gulf of Finland, just 10 minutes' drive from central Helsinki. I hope you all will enjoy the beatiful surroundings of the restaurant and get a glimbse of the Finnish nature so near to the centre of the capital city!
Greetings from sunny and warm Helsinki,
Johanna.
