Helsinki Sights, Saunas & Island Adventures
I included Matcha Crew for strawberry cloud matcha and ice cream. Save this for a sweet matcha break during a day exploring Helsinki.
Matcha Crew
The macaron and chai here were both 10/10 for me. One of my Helsinki café picks when you want a drink and a sweet treat.
Kaffa Roastery
Veggie burgers are available here! I would save Bastard Burgers for a casual burger meal between Helsinki sights, especially if you want a change from café pastries and sweet treats.
Bastard Burgers
Delicious! This lived up to the excellent reviews that led me here. Ravintola Nepali is a restaurant I would keep on my Helsinki meal shortlist alongside the cafés and burger stop.
Ravintola Nepali
Beautiful botanical garden to explore!
Kaisaniemi Botanic Garden | Finnish Museum ... - Helsinki.fi
I was the only visitor when I went! This beautiful church was a memorable, quiet stop on my Helsinki trip. Add it to your architecture itinerary if you enjoy taking your time exploring churches.
S:t John's Church
A beautiful church to walk through! There was a Mars exhibit when I visited, which made my stop especially memorable. Exhibits change, so treat that as part of my trip rather than something guaranteed for yours.
Helsingin Tuomiokirkko
Vegetarian Food, Coffee & Sweet Stops
A cozy Helsinki café stop for a cinnamon bun. One of the classic café experiences I included in my guide, and a lovely place to slow down with a warm drink.
Cafe Regatta
One of my favorite Helsinki experiences: take the ferry out to the sea fortress and spend time exploring the islands. Check the ferry schedule and leave room for a relaxed walk.
Suomenlinna
A waterfront sauna experience from my Helsinki guide. A lovely way to slow down between city sights. Check current booking options and sauna guidance before visiting.
Löyly Helsinki
One of the nicest libraries I’ve visited, featured in my Finland travel story. A memorable Helsinki stop for the building and public spaces as much as the books.
Oodi Helsinki
Helsinki’s church built into solid rock, included in my Finland story. A distinctive architecture stop to work into a city day; check current visiting hours.
Temppeliaukio Church
A detective-themed speakeasy from my Helsinki guide. I loved the carbonated Perlini cocktail. Respect the venue’s no-phones and no-photos approach when visiting.
Trillby & Chadwick
