| Hei Yinpong, I've received many messages for my summer Helsinki recommendations and I thought maybe you'd like my tips, too!👇🏻 1. Eat By the Sea My favorites include Löyly and Mattolaituri, near the Kaivopuisto area. One dreamy summer cafe is in Töölö district, and it's called the Blue Villa's Cafe (Sinisen huvilan kahvila, in Finnish). 2. Visit Nuuksio National Park There's a beautiful national park called Nuuksio near Helsinki. Go by bus and enjoy the stunning scenery. Psst.. they even have fluffy nose reindeer park there. 3. Explore Second-Hand stores Finns are fans of pre-loved items🥰 Check out Relove's second-hand boutique and cafe (which is also a fantastic coffee and lunch spot). 4. Enjoy Suomenlinna Island It's a must during summer. Here are the nice-to-know things before you go: - Book 3-4 hours if you want to walk through the entire island.
- Free maps and toilets are available when you arrive and midway between the two main islands.
- Tap water is drinkable all around Finland, also here.
More walking tours and sights on my Helsinki post. 5. Speak spoken Finnish If you start now, you can speak easy, spoken Finnish (that's what we actually speak in Finland) this summer. Save 40€ and grab the praised Conversational Finnish for Beginners 1 special offer available until this Friday! One-time payment, the course is always yours. If you have any questions, I'm here for you🙋🏼♀️ Talk soon, Varpu
