Our stay in Helsinki was absolutely amazing! We truly felt like it was our own home! One of our favorite things about the location of where we stayed was that we were very close to the Oodi Central Library, our new favorite building of all time! The only dangers of staying in Helsinki is that it might tempt you to sell all your possessions, say goodbye to all your friends and move there!
South African Matthew Miszczak & Savanna Deetlefs visited Helsinki in winter and published 11 posts about their stay on Matthew's popular Instagram account sliceofmatt. They also made 7 Youtube videos of the stay on the Youtube channel named Slice of Matt.
Here follows a short summary of those posts with 5 tips out of their recommendations in Helsinki:
1) Public sauna Löyly: we just had to try swimming in the sub-zero sea after Saturday sauna. That truly made us feel like Finns.
2) Wine bar and bakery Way: the best breakfast brunch in town!
3) Jokerit Ice hockey game: we watched an epic Jokerit Ice Hockey game while in town! It was the first time we'd been to a proper game and we both loved it and are now Jokerit fans and supporters for life!
4) Allas Sea Pool: the picture perfect postcard view from Helsinki!
5) Sea Fortress Island Suomenlinna: find out how it is to live the dream in Helsinki!
