Oslo and Helsinki

Hello,
I have a tight itinerary for Scandinavia and have to decide between:
- 1 day in Oslo and 2 in Helsinki.
- 2 days in Oslo and 1 in Helsinki.
What would you do? Thanks for your help,
gpm

A No Brainer-- Two days in Oslo, 1 day in Helsinki.

Agree - to me Helsinki is the quite boring compared to the other Scand cities.

A third YES for 2 days in Oslo. The Akerhus complex at the harbor could take at least half a day (very interesting WWII museum there); Vigeland park is another 2 hours. Don't miss the friezes outside the Town Hall (vividly painted, wood carvings depicting Norse mythology - I think they're more impressive than the Town Hall interior!) There are other museums, palaces, etc., that will occupy time; plus, boat tours.

Another vote for Oslo. And I'd skip Helsinki if I had it to do over again. Much better to spend the extra time in Oslo.
