This is a small, lovely island worth visiting! You can also walk from there to the other nearby islands. Uunisaari is only 10 minutes boat trip from Kaivopuisto Park (Kompassitori). During the summer there is a boat connection and during the winter you can easily walk there using the bridge.
If you try the food, i recommend to take the salmon soupI

Sightseeing
Ullanlinnanmäki (5 minutes from my home) is a perfect spot to put you on the map and check how the center of Helsinki looks from above. From here you can see the white church, market square, harbor and islands, and walk easily to the center.
During the summer this is a peaceful park to enjoy your picnic with friends.
