Metroji clue #141

Helsinki in five emoji

Finland

Built on a peninsula and a scatter of islands, and mostly designed in the last two hundred years. Dark in December and barely dark at all in June.

What each emoji refers to

Finland has more saunas than cars. Public ones are a normal way to spend an evening.
Aalto, Marimekko and Iittala all came from here, and the city sells itself on design.
Ferries run to the Suomenlinna sea fortress and across to Tallinn.
Forest reaches the edge of the city, and there is a public right to walk in it.
Finns drink more coffee per person than any other nation.
