Esplanadi is the collective name for two parallel streets (Pohjoisesplanadi and Eteläesplanadi) and a park between them, located in the centre of Helsinki. It is colloquially called "Espa". On summertime it's packed with people just sitting and chilling. Before christmas there's a market with small and lively red tents.
