Northern Europe

OK, intrepid travellers, say you wanted to take a grand tour of northern European cities.  Which ones would you include, why, what's good to do there, how long would you spend in each, how would you get from each to the next?

Let's say that the "to be considered" list includes but is not limited to Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Oslo, Copenhagen, and Stockholm.

No constraints for the sake of discussion, but cruises are out.

Everyone I know who has been to Talinn has loved it and it is a quick ferry from Helsinki.

In Helsinki, I had a wonderful meal at Spis, and the excellent Chef and Sommelier.  A trip out to Suomenalina island is also interesting, as is the Finnish Design Museum.  We also had wonderful cocktails at Liberty or Death.

ETA:  I had 2 full days in Helsinki as a tourist (before working) and that was the right amount.
