Really nice place to visit.
18th century architectural monuments have been collected in the forest by the sea. The house, the former residence of the Tsar, and a beautiful Orthodox church, tiny house on stilts where you could shelter from the bear, the old mill, the windmill and other wonders. And around some small restaurant and view to the city

Very nice and special museum. Loved to walk through with my wife in the summer. So many different houses and buildings from so many different eras. I really loved this place. Quite recommended place to chill for an hour or two. (Or more if you want to check all the details house by house!)

A very cool place to visit just outside the city. Easy to navigate to and a breath of fresh air. The historical aspect is also very intriguing

It is a beautiful island in the west of Helsinki and the east of Espoo. You can only walk in thr island and no cars or bicycle can enter. It has a small beach with changing room. It contains an old village with many cottage  and church and mills. The most of them needs ticket. You can buy ticket or use the museo karti at the entrance. You can bring your food as a picnic or buy in a restaurant.

What a delightful surprise this open-air museum turned out to be! It’s important to note that the location is primarily an island open to the public, but for just 12 euros per person, you can explore nearly twenty historic houses—a highly recommended option. Be aware that the last return bus is at 3:00 PM, and it takes about 15 minutes to walk up to the nearest tram stop. Alternatively, you can always opt for an Uber or taxi. I highly recommend visiting this place!
