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

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

#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.

If you visit in winter, you can experience the tranquil snowy scenery of Northern Europe⛄. 🐟 Harbour cuisine｜Taste authentic fresh seafood The Market Square by the sea is a great place to taste seafood! There are fresh fish soup, fried fish and local black bread. I especially recommend a bowl of hot fish soup paired with local bread, which is both stomach-warming and delicious🥣. 🚲 Cycling around the sea | Cycling to experience the beauty of the coast There are well-developed bicycle paths along the seaside in Helsinki. You can rent a bicycle and ride easily along the coastline to explore every corner. The scenery along the way is open, especially suitable for taking photos and checking in📸. 📍 Useful Information 🚢 To Suomenlinna ferry: Take it from the Helsinki city center pier and it will take about 15 minutes to arrive 🌅 Best time: At dusk in summer, the setting sun shines on the sea, the scenery is dreamy and charming 🛍️ Harbour Plaza: Recommended to buy local handmade souvenirs and fresh fruits ✨ Recommended reason Helsinki's seaside scenery is both magnificent and healing, where the city's modernity and natural beauty blend perfectly. Whether taking a stroll, tasting seafood, or visiting small islands on the sea, you can feel the unique leisurely atmosphere of Northern Europe.
