Helsinki

You have to visit Suomenlinna!!

Ladies! When on the streets at night, please be with a group. There are no real dangers, but lots of drunken men, so keep a watchful eye out for them!

If you're looking for a decent and not-too-expensive hostel, I can recommend the Stadium Hostel, which is located in the Olympic Stadium (across the road where the Opera House is located). It's not too expensive, the rooms are nice and clean and security is good.

Helsinki's Stockmann, Aleksanterinkatu, Boulevardi ad Esplanadi are musts if you love shopping, window Shopping and Design... treat yourself with a good stroll on the Main Venues and then ahve a break at the Fazer Cafè in Kluuvikatu! It is worth it!!

Kiasma Museum is a must...as a visit to the Kansallismuseo too. Thay are both in Mannerheimentie, not too far from each other... a pleasant walk in Summer next to the Töölö Lahti...or a charming Winter Walk when it is cold and showy!!

There are so many places to gomy favorites: Molly Malone's (Irish Pub)Lost Found (where you can meet Ville Vallo...)

Go there by boat, it´s a wonderful view when entering the city

Helsingfors is the Swedish name for Helsinki and very rarely used beyond the Swedes or Swedish-Finns. Helsinki is the generally use.

Can get easily by ferry form Stockholm or from Copenhagen.

Helsinki is a modern city in North Europe. It's in the south of Finland and most of the population live there.

A bike is the best way to get a round in Helsinki. There are a lot of paths and roads for bikers, and you get away from the rush hour! espesially nice is the areas by the sea and in the central park.

Fine dining, go to Restaurant Demo.

Samllish City Centre (compared to Manchester), but a jaw dropping place if you're a single young bloke... Mecca bar is a good tip :^] (In the centre).

Beautiful and peaceful beach for active people and also for the family with the children. Yliskylä, Helsinki.. Here is one photo from there.http://www.panoramio.com/photo/11693558

no Hesassa kannattaa ehottomasti käyä Kaivopuistossa.. sielä on ihanat maisemat ja sielä on semmonen pikku kahvila ko cafee Ursula, jossa on tosi söpö tarjoilija poika. ja sielä oli joutsenia! ja näkkee julkkiksia.. ja sitten kannattaa shoppailla

Don't go to Hellsinki on a Sunday I did and Virtually the whole city was shut apart from a few pubs and cafes. We found the best pub in Finland its on one of the pedestrianised shopping streets in the city center and it called 'The Black Door'. Its a lovely old syle english pub that sells quality real ales, a far cry from the flat Fnnish weak lager.

Bootsfahrt von Helsinki nach Stockholm ist empfehlenswert!

The rockchurch is beautiful.

From here is where you get the ferry back to Sweden

Overall, Helsinki is a wonderful city. The air is clear, and can change quickly. The ice even can fall in the summer!! It's so unexpected.The people are nice. Though not all people can speak English. The common languages are Finnish and Swedish. But the major language is Finnish.Don't be dare to go out alone at midnight, since there are a lot of drunk people outside. And if you choose to live nearby the church, you have to be ready to be awaken by the bell!! Hahahaha...

White houses and long days (in summer time)

go jogging it's beautifull

very cool shops for metalfreaks although they are a little bit expensive. but you won't regrett it ;-)
