  • Hey you, welcome to my guide to Helsinki, Finland - tips on places to visit and things to do for your next trip to the capital of Finland. In this video, I'll walk you through my tips on things to do in Helsinki, practical tips you should know before traveling to Finland, and how to get around in Helsinki.
    Helsinki is a beautiful city and there are many things you can do there. There aren't a lot of sightseeing stops, but instead it's a great city to walk around in, enjoy the scenery and the Finnish culture, and to explore the restaurants and cafes in. I love visiting Helsinki, especially during the summer, but the tips in today's video includes things that you can do anytime during the year. So if you're visiting Helsinki, Finland, then this video is for you!

      Thanks for watching! 🤗 Oh nice, Tallinn is wonderful but a day trip to Helsinki from there is super convenient if you'd like to see some of the Finnish capital as well. You can take the ferry which is about 2 hours one way. 😄

    Thank you Milla for sharing these tips and info, I have my flight booked on July 16th, and I’m planning on visiting Helsinki, Tampere, Turku and Porvoo. I’m a solo traveller and thinking to spend about 8 days in Finland. Any other cities you recommend me to consider during my trip ? Thanks again.

    • @MillaExplores
      @MillaExplores  Před 2 lety +3

      I'm so glad to hear that this was helpful! Awesome that you're traveling to Finland! I think you'll have plenty to do visiting Tampere, Turku, Porvoo, and Helsinki in 8 days. More places might be too much. Remember to visit Turun linna castle in Turku, and if you're in Tampere in the morning you can have a nice brunch at Cafe Pispala :)

    Stupid question but can you have your phone with you in a sauna?

    • @MillaExplores
      @MillaExplores  Před 7 dny +1

      There are no stupid questions, right? 😆 But no, you shouldn't bring your phone to the sauna. Sauna is considered a peaceful space. I've also seen people in the US using the sauna in sports clothing which is also incorrect 🫢

    What is that word you keep saying, sounds like "saw-na"? You mean "sow-na"? Come on, it's the one Finnish word everybody knows, but nobody pronounces correctly. Please help the world and pronounce it correctly as well.

      Are you telling a Finnish person how to pronounce sauna? Definitely not sow-na 😂😂 but you do you!!
