Definitely recommended for your trip to Helsinki! Introducing a popular supermarket where you can find all kinds of Finnish souvenirs! ⭐️K Supermarket Postitalo Branch This is the big supermarket near Helsinki Central Station! From snacks like salmiakki and potato chips to Marimekko paper napkins, they have a wide selection of souvenirs! It's more affordable than buying them at souvenir shops for tourists, so it was very useful during my trip to Finland, where prices are high. The item I especially recommend is potato chip powder! It's a flavored powder sold next to potato chips, and you can mix it with unsweetened Greek yogurt or cream to dip the potato chips in! It's very popular with Finns and makes a great souvenir! Please look for it🫶 📍Location: Elielinaukio 2F, 00100 Helsinki, Finland #AbsolutelyFreeTravel

#7月好去地方2025 ✓Helsinki Ode Central Library Helsingin keskustakirjasto Oodi A beautiful library in Northern Europe, designed by ALA Architects, the main building is in the shape of a streamlined ship, with glass and steel as the skeleton, and a large area of Finnish spruce wood on the surface of the building. The appearance is simple but warm. It is a birthday gift for Finland's 100th anniversary. Helsinki Ode Central Library has three floors: The first floor is mainly for exhibitions and rest, and there is also a cinema and a cafe. The second floor is mainly for the office and research space of the staff of the Central Library, and the multimedia room, meeting room and Living Lab are planned. The third floor is the main reading space. In addition to the large collection of books, there are also technological equipment such as VR glasses and 3D printers, and even recording space and game rooms are planned. You can sing KTV, play e-sports, and learn sewing in the library, which is really eye-opening.

I chose to go Finland during Autumn time,because i want to walk more and don't want to walk under sunny day. What you can do in Helsinki, if you only have one day ? Take a bus to city from airport is easy.Route: Bus line 600 operates between the airport and Helsinki city center. You can take train as well, but nothing much to see from train. Travel time: The bus ride takes about 40-50 minutes. Train is about 35 minutes. Please join the free walking tour,just gave the tips at the end of the trip. The experience starts in the heart of the city, where the guide (i had Lara, who was warm and really funny!) leads you through some of Helsinki’s most iconic sights, from the neoclassical splendor of Senate Square to the colorful charm of Katajanokka’s Art Nouveau buildings. But the real treat is what you’ll taste along the way. Inside the historic Old Market Hall, we got to sample smoked reindeer and bear, traditional rye bread, salty-sweet caviar, and even some local chocolate. What i loved most was how our guide tied each flavor to a piece of Finnish culture or history. From learning why rye bread is such a staple to discovering the story behind Finland’s obsession with all things sweet and salty, we learned something new with every dish. This is a walking tour with a relaxed pace and plenty of opportunities to sit or linger. It’s a great intro to Helsinki, especially for first-timers or anyone curious about the local food scene. After the walking tour i went to Temppeliaukio Church, Uspenski Cathedral, Helsinki Cathedral, and Sibelius Park. Before went back to the hotel nearby the Helsinki Cathedral i walked to Kauppatori open air market to take a break and have a salmon soup for dinner. Helsinki Catheon

I visited 'St. George Bakery,' a bakery located in Helsinki, Finland. This bakery also serves as the breakfast restaurant for the St. George Hotel. ✔︎ Cinnamon Roll ✔︎ Cardamom Roll I ordered these two items. The bread had a delightful aroma of cinnamon and cardamom even before eating, which made me feel so happy. The crispy texture of the dough was absolutely delicious! Although I opted for takeout this time, the interior of the shop had a cozy and relaxing atmosphere, with beautiful decor.

Lots of cute souvenirs! Introducing the recommended souvenir shop "OMA puoti" where I ended up buying a lot of things! ⭐️Review A popular souvenir shop in the center of Helsinki. I was attracted by the stylish exterior and went inside, and the inside was packed with souvenirs. From warm winter clothes, scarves, hats, and other clothing that are typical of Finland, to accessories made from warm wood, wonderfully designed Nordic mythology goods, stuffed animals and reindeer figurines, there are really all kinds of things! I was just going to take a quick look, but I ended up buying a lot of cute accessories and tableware 😂 This is my favorite souvenir shop in Helsinki, where my desire for material things explodes! 📍Location: Katariinankatu 4, 00170 Helsinki, Finland #0 yen trip

A little-known souvenir spot! Introducing "Muji", a shop with a wide selection of Finnish souvenirs! ⭐️Review MUJI is the Japanese version of Muji. The Muji here is a little different from the usual Muji, with a unique lineup featuring local Finnish products and designs. They have all kinds of "items that you can only buy here", such as fresh and frozen foods where you can see the faces of the producers, granola, cookies, jams, bread, pasta, seasonings, and more, which are hard to find at supermarkets! Another unique feature is that they have a design corner where not only groceries but also Finnish miscellaneous goods and fabric products are gathered. Clear files with a map of Helsinki on them are perfect souvenirs! It's a place that Japanese tourists tend to overlook, but it's a recommended spot that you should definitely go to🫶 📍Location: kauppakeskus, Urho Kekkosen katu 1 4. krs, 00100 Helsinki, Finland #0 yen trip

Normal is a general goods store found all over Finland. It is a popular general goods store that started in Denmark with the concept of "normal products at unnormal prices." The colorful and pop interior of the store is reminiscent of Don Quijote in Japan and Flying Tiger in Denmark, with everyday items such as makeup, skincare, and bath products, as well as snacks and miscellaneous goods. What's even better is that the prices are reasonable! It is said that prices in Scandinavia are higher than in Japan, so Normal, where you can buy souvenirs and gifts for yourself at low prices, was a great help. There are many stores in Helsinki, so please stop by during your free time on your trip✨ #0yentravel

"Stockmann" is a popular department store that everyone will visit when traveling to Helsinki. In fact, the supermarket "Food Market Herkku" in the basement is amazing! ⭐️Review I came here on the last day, but this supermarket was so good that I regretted coming earlier. Not only is the quality of the fresh food good, but the selection of everything is amazing, including cheese, tea, sweets, butter, juice, alcohol, etc. It is listed as a high-end food store on Google Maps, but considering that it is inside a department store, the prices are not that high, and before I knew it, I had put a lot of ingredients in my basket. The deli section is also well-stocked, and if I had stayed another night, I would have made a day to eat deli food at the hotel. It is also recommended for solo travelers who find it difficult to go to restaurants. It is a really fun place, so I recommend taking plenty of time to enjoy shopping! 📍Location: Aleksanterinkatu 52, 00100 Helsinki, Finland #0 yen trip

This is the most popular coffee chain in Finland! We will introduce "Roberts Coffee" where you can enjoy stylish and delicious drinks and snacks! ⭐️Review When you think of Finland, Roberts Coffee comes to mind! Maybe Starbucks hasn't gained popularity because this store is too good? This branch is in a classical building with a luxurious atmosphere and many locals come here. They looked delicious, so I bought strawberry cheesecake flavored rooibos tea and rose flavored green tea as souvenirs. The design is stylish and each box costs 6.9 euros. Of course, they also have coffee! I had Roberts Coffee's popular ice cream and Italian soda. The ice cream was cinnamon berry and peach flavored. The Finnish flavor was rich and really delicious! If you like ice cream, you should definitely try it at least once! I actually wanted to try the pastries, but I was full this time so I passed. The 4.6 euro cinnamon roll is delicious and popular. It seems that they have stores in Japan too, so I would like to try them there next time. 📍Location: Pohjoisesplanadi 19, 00100 Helsinki, Finland #Overseas travel strategy

I previously introduced "Valo Hotel". I mentioned that the breakfast was great, but I didn't tell you what was so great about it. This time, let me introduce the hotel's great breakfast in detail! First of all, the drinks are more than five kinds of tea, as well as coffee, several kinds of milk, honey, delicious blueberry and lingonberry juice, and milk. In addition to fresh vegetables such as tomatoes and lettuce, the salads are typical of Finland, such as pickled herring, Nordic-style potato salad, and red pickled onions. There was also venison and turkey ham. There were also fruits such as pineapples and apples, and the grapefruit was delicious! The bread corner is near the entrance, so be careful not to miss it. I left without noticing it on the first day. There are also Karelian pies and black bread, and a wide variety of spreads such as egg butter, hummus, and cream cheese with chives! And they were all delicious. What's more, the yogurt bar was a delight! You can pour as much fresh berry sauce, delicious cereal, and berry jam on rich Turkish yogurt as you like! It was so delicious that I ended up eating too much. They also offer hot meals every day, and sometimes they serve traditional Finnish dishes! I highly recommend the breakfast buffet at Valo Hotel 👍 Please do visit! #HotelReview

#0yentravelFebruary2025 I climbed the tower at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki, where the stadium was held in 1952. Opening hours are Monday to Sunday, but opening hours are shorter on Saturdays and Sundays. Pay the entrance fee of 7.5 euros (price per adult as of November 2024) at the reception and take the elevator up. From there, you have to climb a few stairs to reach the observation deck of the tower. At a height of 72m, you can see the entire stadium and the city of Helsinki from the observation deck of the tower. Inside the facility, there were also photos of the Olympics at that time. It takes about 20 minutes from Helsinki Centre Station, so it's recommended for when you have a little extra time.

#besthotels Average price in trip.com 145$ per night A lovely stay in the heart of Helsinki, it is a truly excellent business hotel well located, near transport options and within walking distance of many venues. The friendly staff, stylish interior, and carefully thought-out branding added a touch of luxury to our stay. It’s pretty new and in excellent condition. We had a staycation with my husband for our wedding anniversary and everything was just perfect. The room was spacious with lovely views towards the park, we had a standard room with big window, which was nice. The lobby/restaurant had a fussball table which was a nice touch. Small 24 hr gym. Sauna with long opening hours. Amazing breakfast! I recommend this hotel highly and I would like to return there when I visit Helsinki next time.
