Another lovely outdoor recreation is Seurasaari Island. I enjoy walking around the island, but The Open-Air Museum of Seurasaari also displays the traditional Finnish way of life. You can't help running into some badass squirrels and mellow swans. The photo is taken in January.

Architect Tuomas Toivonen´s and Nene Tsuboi´s ecological design -sauna in the shadow of sculptural Merihaka district. Wood pellet heated saunas for men and women. Seat covers included in admission, towels can be rented. Open all year round, ice swimming in winter. NB! No own drinks allowed, no reservations, limited entry for groups (max. 3persons).

Tramline 3B will take you almost anywhere in downtown Helsinki. If you want to get an overall picture of the city centre and its surroundings taking a tour on this tramline is a good way to do so. 3B is the only tramline that operates late at night so if you’re visiting Helsinki there’s a great chance that you’ll end up using it.

This place is known for the personal owner, Kostas, from Greece and they say the coffee is great, but I don't drink coffee. I come here for the Hot Chocolate, the best in town.

Despite their name visiting Stupido Shop is one of the smartest moves any music lover can make in Helsinki. Their record selection includes the hottest new LPs but there’s room for appreciation for the old classics too. These guys know their business.
