1. I've been to Helsinki, but it was in 1976 as part of a tour

that next went to Leningrad and Moscow. In February, so it was a bit chilly.

Wish I could offer some useful advice. I do recall they had a pretty decent natural history museum.

2. Been to Oslo and Helsinki as long time ago

In Oslo I remember the park with all the statues...bodies wrapped around each other.

Also the museum devoted to Kon Tiki.

Can't say I remember much about Helsinki. We saw lots of old churches and buildings but nothing that stands out by name.

3. I've been to Addis

but it was decades ago. Stayed at the Hotel Ghion when there.

I had a terrible allergic reaction eating zigni, a native Ethiopian dish. Tried it once, broke out in hives, had trouble breathing etc. Tried it a second time just to find out whether the first time was just an abnormal reaction. Same thing happened the second time, too.
