Budget unspecified (showing all) Stars unspecified (showing all)I love to see the available hotels on the map. I move and zoom the map a lot. It's so easy to filter out the hotels that are too far from my preferred location. I also like seeing the hotel prices at a glance on the map markers.
This hotel booking tool has saved me both a lot of time and money.
Thanks for a cool new way of booking hotels! On our family trips, we are used to filter the hotels based on our budget. Now we can quickly see the hotels that offer the best deals and that are conveniently located close by the most interesting sights.
The prices on TripSay are always great.
I found a hotel quickly using the advanced filters. Booking the hotel was easy and straight-forward.
I require a wi-fi, non-smoking room and location near the airport or main railway station. Finally it's easy to find a hotel that suits me. I recommend this tool to other travelers as well.
Finnish style cruise! Once you get on board you won't be sober for long... Traditional way of traveling between Finland and Sweden. Sometime, you HAVE TO get off in Sweden even though you don't want to...
Ruoholahti is a nice suburb located near the sea. There is a subway station and a shopping center with Verkkokauppa.com, (One of) the biggest Electronic store in Finland.
You can also practice crosscountry.skiing there if we have snow in southern part of Finland
it has the most variety and action in Finland!
can't go wrong with the capital of finland
They started to build the stadium in 1934 and it took 4 years to get it ready. In 1990-94 they renovated it and now days there are 40 000 seats in stead of 70 000 standing places. Someone has said that this is the most beautiful olympic stadium in the world. Well, maybe it is, if you compare to the new ugly things, but I would say I have seen more beautiful than this. Still, it's an interesting thing in Finland's history and the tower is nice.
Korkeasaari – Helsinki zoo Zoo of 150 animal species and 1000 plant species. Zoo is open all year. Snow leopards are my favorit animals at zoo. Korkeasaari shop sells unique decoration from Amazon area, with theese products store respects fair trade ideology . Also lot of toys and other things that you can’t find no where else from Finland.
Zinnkeller has the original German pub feel with great food and a good selection of beers, stop by for seasonal specialities such as asparagus or the more traditional German cuisines such as leberkäse or Eisbein, which is 1kg dish of pork, 'sianpotka' in Finnish. The place has a good crowd of local regulars who come to enjoy the lively atmosphere and have a couple of brews before calling it a day. During the summer the place gets hit by busloads of japanese tourists regularly. When you're in Helsinki, go to a German restaurant, right?
Not to be missed. The largest department store in Northern Europe and was listed to the top-ten in the world by NY Times in terms of quality. Everything from fashion to food & souvenirs. A couple of times a year they organize a sale called 'hullut päivät' (Finnish for 'Crazy Days') with very good offers. You can't really miss it, since they decorate the entire place with tacky yellow plastic ghosts and other crap (www.hullutpaivat.com).
Tapiola once was the garden city and was acclaimed also abroad for its urban design. Nowadays the place is a bit depressing and deteriorating, although it is still quite garden-like. Having lived there for 5 years I really don't find it very interesting to visit. :) Unless you're a big culture fan the only thing to do here really is to go to Silkkiniitty and play some football (that's soccer for you americans ;).
Natural History Museum Exhibit; history of life, presents for exampel dinosaur. Wide exhibition of finnish wild life, stuffed animals, bird eggs and animal waste! Also story of the bones exhibit, bones are important source of information to many science fields. Museum has also museum boutique, from where you can find lot of interesting stuff. It will take a while, to explore, all the exhibits in this museum.
This is what makes Helsinki so cool: Lammassaari (Finnish for Lamb Island) is in the city but at the same time 1000 miles away. It's an island, nature preservation area and a popular bird watching spot. You'll need your hiking- or rubber - boots as the only way to get there is by dock boards. Essential thing to do in Helsinki - in my opinion. Helps you to appreciate our great city much more.
