One of Julia’s cherished spots for winter photography in Helsinki is the enchanting Ferry Island. This picturesque residential enclave, just a 20-minute ride from the city center, is readily accessible via public transport, including the metro. At the southern tip of Lauttasaari, visitors are treated to breathtaking views of the Baltic Sea, making it an ideal backdrop for nature photography throughout the year.
Julia’s Tip: Have you ever witnessed the mesmerizing spectacle of a sea freezing? When winter descends and temperatures plummet to around -15 degrees, the water begins to crystallize into a stunning icy panorama. There’s something truly captivating about the open sea during this frosty season.
While winter weather in Helsinki can vary significantly from one year to the next, January typically offers the finest opportunity to capture the magic of a frozen sea.
