Title: Anyone from Helsinki, Gdansk or Bratislava?
Post by: Replicant on May 11, 2007, 05:39:47 PM: Howdy all

I'll be visiting Helsinki, Gdansk & Bratislava between August to October (as well as Paris in June) and was wondering whether anyone could recommend some good bars/restaurants/titty bars? :) Also any 'must sees' whilst we're there?

Cheers for any info!

edit: I notified the Finnish ah-community of this thread, I hope you'll get some replies from Helsinki at least. :aok

I was planning the Munchen trip a couple of years ago when you posted about a mini-meeting in there, but cheap flights wouldn't just fit into my schedule... Hoping to see you here in Finland. :)

Hey Fishu, recommend any "must-see" sights within the centre of Helsinki?

Please give later, when you know, some more detailed information when you'll be coming. We have a habit of taking our virtual piloting camrades around when they're here, if timetables just match.

Nice things to see are for example the museums:

Finnish Aviation Museum
http://www.suomenilmailumuseo.fi/en/index.html

Castle Suomenlinna
http://www.suomenlinna.fi/index.php?menuid=3&lang=

Mannerheim museum
http://www.mannerheim-museo.fi/index_eng.htm

Military Museum
http://www.mpkk.fi/en/museum/

Of course, depending what you're interested on seeing.

Post by: Replicant on May 12, 2007, 12:58:51 PM: Thanks for all the info & links. Some nice aircraft in that aviation museum. Would love to see that U-boat too (still haven't seen the one here in the Deutsches Museum, Munich, yet).

I'll have to see what I can squeeze in because I'll be going with a friend, maybe a couple of others, who aren't into aviation history although we do work with the aviation industry! lol

@Grendel

Thanks for offering to show me around. If at any time you, or friends, visit Munich then I'll gladly show you around the aviation/war museums here.

Thanks again

Have you been up to Gdansk?

Hey Camo

We're booked for Saturday 15 Sep - Monday 17 Sep. Just two of us at the moment but a couple more may join us. Lufthansa have been having flights for just €100 so we're busy booking as many flights as possible :)
