The longest and tallest bridge in Finland just opened in Helsinki – and cars won’t be able to use it.Kruunuvuorensilta bridge, which connects Korkeasaari and Kruunuvuorenranta, spans 1,191 metres and is exclusively open to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport.The new bridge means Kruunuvuorenranta is now just five-and-a-half kilometres away from the city centre, reducing the distance from 11 kilometres.“Kruunuvuorensilta bridge is the new, unique and exciting landmark for Helsinki,” said Daniel Sazonov, Mayor of Helsinki.“A sight that will draw visitors from near and far. The new bridge reshapes how we look at Helsinki. It attaches the areas of Kruunuvuorenranta and Laajasalo in a completely new way to the larger central city area.”More than 50,000 people visited the bridge during its opening weekend.Other new attractions in HelsinkiYrjönkatu Swimming Hall, the oldest still-operating swimming hall in the Nordics, reopened to the public in February, and it’s a must-visit if you’re a fan of Art Deco.Plus, Seurasaari Open-Air Museum is set to open a traditional Finnish summer cottage in the next few months.
