Panoraama Linnanmäki is a 53 meter tall gyrotower at Linnanmäki amusement park in Helsinki. Panoraama Linnanmäki was built in 1987 by Intamin AG and offers capacity for 400 tourists per hour. Its previous name was Panorama, but the name was changed to Panoraama (additional letter "a") when Linnanmäki changed the naming policy for its rides and started to use only words that are correct Finnish language.

Originally Linnanmäki was planning a real observation tower, like Näsinneula at Särkänniemi park, but first there were problems with legal issues and later with funding. Eventually Linnanmäki chose to build a tower in a form of gyrotower ride.

Panoraama is one of the best places to view the City of Helsinki, as the tower is located very near the center of the city.

In 1978 a competition was arranged for the design of a new main library. The jury unanimously chose Raili and Reima Pietilä´s work "Mating Call".

The architects said they had been influenced by various elements, such as Celtic ornaments, sheep horns and glacial spin formations. The constructional basic idea was space coiling spirally like the shell of a snail. The form of a bird appeared in the design process. Increasingly, the building began to resemble a large game bird - capercaillie. In fact, the library is known under the Finnish name "Metso". Seen from above, the building looks like a bird carrying a shield. ]]> Tampere City Library

The SS Ukkopekka is a Finnish steamship in service as a tourist and heritage attraction.

The ship was built in Helsinki, Finland in 1938 and was at the time a modern, icebreaking inspection vessel. The vessel was the first inspection vessel of the independent Finland, built by Finns for the National Board of Navigation, and her year of manufacture is the same as that of the icebreaker Sisu. She was originally known as Inspection vessel SS Turku and was built to the hull designs of the SS Sisu, the only alterations being that of the scale. Thus the SS Ukkopekka is probably the last sea-going passenger steamer designed for icebreaking still in active service.]]> S/S Ukkopekka

MS Silja Europa, operated by Silja Line, is one of the largest cruiseferries in the world. It was built at Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany for the ferry operator Rederi AB Slite, a part of Viking Line. The ferry was already painted in Viking Line's colors and almost ready to be handed over, when the Swedish krona was devaluated by 10%, which led Slite into economical difficulties. Slite could not pay for the ship so Meyer Werft kept it and soon managed to charter it to Viking Line's rival, Silja Line.

The world's first floating McDonald's restaurant was located onboard Silja Europa from its maiden trip until 1996 when it was closed down and replaced by Silja Line's own hamburger restaurant.]]> M/S Silja Europa
