Entertainment & Activities
A great place to go for some traditional Finnish sauna. You can also take a dip in the ocean. Has a good restaurant. I definitely recommend this to anybody who wants to get acquainted with Finnish culture. Be sure to call in advance to make sure there is room. Well worth it for the 20 € price. First sauna and then some nice salmon soup :)

Just a round the corner you can find a traditional Finnish sailor restaurant/bar. Not the fanciest of places, but if you like a good schnitzel and have a big stomach, this is your place. My favorites are the creamy "Salomon soup", "Kannaksen pannu" or if you are really hungry, go for the "Jättileike".

Simply excellent...that´s all I can say. In their own words: We offer scandinavian-european products seasoned with spices around the world without unnecessary trickeries. With potion and beverages side, we invest heavily with quality artisan handcraftmanship instead of quantities – beers are supplied for us by south Helsinki brewery Ohrana and with wines we favor personal european small winerys.

Great small and chilled place about 10 min walk from my Kamppi apartment. Very cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. The menu is short and changes depending on the season. I never had a meal here that would have been anything but excellent. Decent prized meals with top notch price/quality ratio. In essence these guy´s serve glorified bar food :)

Suomenlinna is a UNESCO World Heritage site and popular with tourists and locals, who enjoy it as a picturesque picnic site.
The Swedish crown commenced the construction of the fortress in 1748 as protection against Russian expansionism. The general responsibility for the fortification work was given to Augustin Ehrensvärd. The original plan of the bastion fortress was strongly influenced by the ideas of Vauban, the foremost military engineer of the time, and the principles of star fort style of fortification, albeit adapted to a group of rocky islands

Nuuksio National park is quite easely reached by public transport and is definitely worth it if yo want to enjoy Finnish nature. The 53 km2 area has been a National park since 1994 and is loved by both tourists and the inhabitants of Helsinki. If you stay for a couple of days,I highly recommend that you take a day to visit Nuuksio. Gives great balance to the urban lifestyle of Helsinki.

Getting Around
If you are in town for a couple of days, it might be nice to visit the capital of Estonia, Tallinn. Check out the old town with all its shopping and great restaurants. If you decide to go, leave early (7.30) so that you will have the hole day on location. Tallinn is very nice. About two hours one way.
