Töölönlahti Bay Helsinki
Relax and unwind
Töölönlahti Bay is a perfect place to unwind from the busy city. Töölönlahti Bay is actually located right in the city center but you can still relax just by walking around the bay. There is a walking path going around the Töölönlahti Bay and I love jogging around it or just relaxing by the banks or in the surrounding parks. This is what many of the locals do as well so it might even get a little crowded sometimes with joggers. I recommend doing the round very early in the morning so you can enjoy the beauty of silence and fresh air.
The scenery is very Finnish with lots of green and water in the summer time and snowy white in the winter. There's a couple of the best known attractions surrounding the Töölönlahti Bay such as Opera House and Finlandia House. Along the walking path you can stop by at a cool scenery cafe Sininen Huvila which has a perfect view overlooking the Töölönlahti Bay all the way to the Parliament House.
