Suomenlinna
Suomenlinna is an 18th-century sea fortress and nature area with centuries-old artillery and defensive walls, spread across 6 linked islands. Walking trails cross parkland between popular sights like the King’s Gate drawbridge and Suomenlinna Museum, which recounts military and maritime history. Submarine Vesikko lets visitors explore a restored 1930s vessel. There's also a brewery and several waterside restaurants.

Suomenlinna is a challenging environment for people with impaired mobility. Footpaths in Suomenlinna are paved with cobblestones, gravel or sand. Uneven sections cannot be avoided completely.
The terrain is hilly and difficult in parts, so wheelchair users should be accompanied by a carer/companion. The weather may also make the footpaths uneven and slippery.
Perceiving where the footpaths run may be hard for visually impaired people. There are also several places where there is a danger of falling from heights. Navigating through poorly-lit tunnels may be difficult for the visually impaired.
