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.

Töölönlahti Bay is a really nice area in the middle of Helsinki. It's a lovely walk around the bay and especially in the summer you can sit down and have break at the café located up on the hill and enjoy the view.

You could spend hours looking through photographers portfolios and books.

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.

They have huge cinnamon buns here, a nice thing to split with your friends. A really finnish treat. Owed by café esplanad (where you get the same sort of bakeries), but I prefer Success for it's smaller space.
