🇫🇮 Like a Local in Helsinki

Gia FH: You never go wrong when choosing a plate of rice porridge. Perfect start to a day or quick lunch.

Martti Pyykönen: You can take so much potatoes/rice/pasta/ other sidedish, bread and salad as you like! Easy way to eat cheap!

Noora: One of the loveliest spots to visit in the summer. An idyllic outside cafe by the Töölö bay has probably one of the best views you can get around these hoods. A nice pit stop also for joggers ;-)

Juho Tikkanen: Practically everything home made. Starting from juicy burgers to delicious gelato. Warmly recommended!

Minna Khan: Spending two hours enjoying upstairs' wooden sauna and steam room is a perfect way to pamper yourself on Sunday afternoons. Don't forget to try the delicious ice tea!

Kimmo Alakunnas: Good food, small place. Not for big groups.

Niko R.: Best outdoors stuff for foreigners who want to see Helsinki nature

Paavo: This is a must see in Helsinki. A haven in the middle of it all. Nice beach - very child friendly. Check also out the quaint little nature trail.

Ossi Honkanen: Just 20 minutes away from the city, a beautiful spot of nature. Grab some food to go and take a boat over. Walking around the isle takes about an hour.

Susanna V.: Friendly service. Salmon soup and pancakes are really good.

Alexander Granholm: The view is worth the climb.

Joonas Linkola: The resting place of many famous Finnish artists: Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Sakarias Topelius, Mika Waltari, Alvar Aalto...

Tero Angeria: Always buzzing.. Live music.

Katariina K.: Lovely park with amazingly beautiful plants and trees! Best time to visit is in June.

Timo Muttonen: Original wood sauna with great athmosphere and style.

Katariina K.: I would say this is ultimately the best beach in Helsinki!

Petsku H.: Winter evening with plenty of snow on the ground, visit the top and admire the eerie beauty of the surrounding city.

Niko R.: Pittoresque little island with sheeps around summertime. Ideal for piqniq with friends or family. Swimming in sea possibilities.

Juha Lindy: Nice short walk in a natural forest. Protected area. Stay on trail.

Karri: One of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Helsinki, along with Viikki and Pikku-Huopalahti.

Zane Zamuška: A hidden botanic garden with a rose garden in the centre. Come when roses are blooming!

Jonna Muurinen: Suosittelen vaikkapa iltakävelyreitiksi!

Robin 🐳 Lauren: After a long walk in the snowy Central park, this place, a coffee and a korvapuusti can really detach you from the hectic urban grind.

Meeri J.: Leave your bag at the reception and do a pre-sauna run. It's ca 4 km around the Kaisaniemi bay.

Suvi Kinnarinen: Nice green island next to the zoo. Great views, peaceful beaches, rocks, places for a barbecue, and for fishing too!

Kalle R: Some of the best views over central Helsinki and over the harbour. Nice place to take a small climb and sit down to enjoy a sunny day.

Asmo Halinen: Bring your kids here to see cows, pigs and other farm animals. :)
