Guidebook for Helsinki
Food Scene
Food is extremely good and service is friendly. Unless a typical Nordic design restaurant, the decor is a bit industrial. It's relaxed atmosphere with fine food, suitable for groups as well. I like the interesting mix! You can also go upstairs bar and order a few cocktails!

A must for chocolate addicts. Excellent place serving delicious locally made chocolates at the heart of one of Helsinki's oldest districts. Friendly service. Heavenly hot chocolate.

Place is usually quite packed so be patient, it's worth it! I don't have words to describe it. I haven't had a better sushi combination in Helsinki. Well prepared, just the right temperature and fresh sushi.

Absolutely worth walking or running through if the weather allows such pleasure. Relaxing atmosphere in downtown
Töölönlahti Helsinki

This restaurant is very popular and its usually fully loaded. I recommend to make a reservation. The food is organic, wholesome, unique, beautifully presented and delicious and the wait staff warm and down to earth. Try the sapas and one of their wonderful deserts. Eating out in Helsinki is not cheap and this restaurant is no exception.

This cafe is popular among tourists and locals alike. Regatta is a little, cozy sea cottage cafe that serves mainly coffee, cakes, and cinnamon buns. Regatta has a colorful exterior, but the inside of cafe looks more rustic and interesting, with quirky touches to its decor. This place is perfect to have a late, laid-back breakfast.

Drinks & Nightlife
A hidden gem in the club scene of Europe powered by one of the most delicate sound systems dedicated to electronic music. Its rare to see Rane mixers as native equipment of a club, but they have it. Pro-level stuff and friendly atmosphere.

World standard UG club. Funktion One soundsystem means that the sound quality is close to the best possible. Same brand of loudspeakers is used in Berghain, Berlin. It will get LOUD sooner or later during the night so if you are worried about your hearing, then the earplugs are recommended.

One of the best cocktail bars in Helsinki. The bartenders definitely know what their doing. Please, take into account that the bar is quite small so during rush hour (Sat 10pm), the bar may be crowded. Also, the window and door are covered with black curtains so it may look as though the bar is closed. However, try the door and go inside!

Sightseeing
Just a 15-minute ferry ride from the Kauppatori (market square), a visit to Suomenlinna, the ‘fortress of Finland’, is a Helsinki must-do. Set on a tight cluster of islands connected by bridges, the UNESCO World Heritage site was originally built by the Swedes as Sveaborg in the mid-18th century.

Shopping
The outlet has many good deals and offers, particularly compared with flagship stores in more tourist-oriented areas.
With metro for the short ride to Herttoniemi. From there it's a short walk (just follow the steady trail of Japanese ladies laden down with Marimekko produce). The building is Marimekko HQ and also has a Marimekko cafe.
