It is a great place to have a picnic!! You may bring you own sandviches, drink etc. or you may try street food that you come across in the park. more »

Walked through this park on the way to the ferry and it was very nice. Statues and walkways were great and it's in a neat spot. more »

Esplanadi is beautiful just for a walk or for a coffee at the classic Kappeli. There are many places for brunch or afternoon tea, which are slightly more expensive, but no doubt exquisite. more »

Great areas to hang out is when the weather is nice. They make good use of the space when they get the chance, e.g. food festivals.

Where to stay in Helsinki
Set yourself up with easy access to many of Helsinki's most popular tourist sites by staying in the city's bustling and modern center. You'll find that the area is packed full of shops, restaurants, and bars, plus it's conveniently close to both the city's main train station and energetic waterfront. Though there's certainly a range of options when it comes to big-name hotel chains and upscale accommodation, prices are generally higher throughout most of the center, so consider staying at a hostel to cut down on costs. Hostels typically offer a solid location in or near the city center at a fraction of the cost of a big chain.
