Manege
One of two museums that retells Suomenlinna’s military history and can be visited with a combination ticket (€6). Manege commemorates WWII and displays heavy artillery. Finland was forbidden to possess submarines by the 1947 Treaty of Paris and the WWII-era U-boat Vesikko is one of the few submarines remaining in the country. You climb inside and see how it all worked – it’s not for the claustrophobic.
