"Hietalahti Market Hall" Helsinki has been coming back to life! Nowadays I go there for grocery shopping and for one of the best places for lunch in town.

"Löyly" in Helsinki has quickly become a worldwide phenomenon. It's a very Finnish spot, but at the same time, not! Sauna accompanied by sunshine!? But...!

"Pikkulintu" in Helsinki is a keep-it-simple beer & (a 300-sort-strong) whiskey bar! Everything costs the same here, regardless of type and strength.

"Pub Sirdie" in Helsinki is the only place for me to feel the Kallio spirit in its original form! This pub has a true cult following, and for good reason!

"Bar Favela" is a great addition to Helsinki's nightlife. They're not only a bar w/ awesome cocktails - their food (like the 'bean bread') is amazing, too!

"Leipomo K. E. Avikainen" (est. 1950) is one of the few remaining traditional Helsinki bakeries. They also sell Karelian pies, which makes me happy!

"Tavastia" in Helsinki is the most legendary live music venue in Finland. Nobody can compete with them and and they've been around almost 50 years!

"Vanhankaupunginkoski" is the Old Town of Helsinki, but instead of old buildings, here you'll find beautiful nature and a lovely scenery...

"Ekberg" is the oldest bakery, patisserie and café not only in Helsinki, but the whole of Findland. My sister and I go there on our birthday mornings.

"Orion" is one of my favorite places not only in Helsinki, but on Earth! I just love watching films from the balcony at this cinema. For enthusiasts!

Tove Jansson, creator of the beloved Moomin trolls, still doesn't have an official statue in Helsinki, if you exclude the ones from before she was famous.

"Talvipuutarha" (or 'winter garden') in Helsinki is a big greenhouse garden with three rooms. It's 120 years old and super cute, even for picnics!
