Espoo Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Helsinki may be small, but it's a place where cold and warmth coexist

Most people come to Helsinki because they have to transfer here for most of the day, so I did a lot of research before I came. Many friends chose the one-day or even half-day travel guides provided by many people. At that time, I was thinking that I could play so much, maybe the two and a half days itinerary could be filled up. But after coming here, I found out that maybe it's not everyone's fault, this city is really small, so small that you can finish most of the check-in spots in this city without even taking a transportation tool for a whole day. But, although Helsinki is small, there may also be places that are really worth it here. Although it has been raining for three consecutive days, you can also take the photos you have been looking forward to here. There are unique positions of the red and white church taken by one person walking on the main street of the city when the sky is not bright in the early morning; there is a peaceful atmosphere felt in the temple square church built by stone piles, surrounded by candles and listening to organ music; there is a Christmas atmosphere in the Nordic countries, although not much, but still exists; since it is rainy, then here may really only belong to the rainy night, two days to walk through the whole city, also took the tram at night that I have been thinking about since I left Lisbon. This place may not really be a foodie's paradise, even the famous deer meat may not be anything special (friends feel like beef after eating), but at least you can drink to your heart's content at Kappeli, and the salmon soup is very delicious. This place also proves the environmental awareness of the Nordic people. The first feeling of coming to Helsinki is orderly. The tram shuttling through the city is the most convenient transportation tool in this city, making the whole city look particularly neat and quiet. Even in the heavy rain, the streets and every shop you walk into are clean and tidy, with classified trash cans and electric scooters everywhere, the best quality drinking water in the world, and the tram station and city architecture style that look cold and simple enough in the Nordic style. In the wooden house hotel built by the mountain forest where I chose to stay on the second day, almost everything is recyclable. From the restaurant to the furnishings and materials in the room, almost all are made of recyclable wood. Try not to buy new ones. Even the building itself is said to be bought from the activity center here by the front desk sister, jokingly saying that even the building itself is recycled, including the amount of breakfast will not be too much to avoid unnecessary waste. Even here there is a quite special habit, that is, the number of times to clean the house, the front desk sister said if the guest stays for a long time, whether to clean or not during the period is according to the customer's wishes, if the customer does not require cleaning, generally for sustainable development, will choose to clean once every three days, the resources that can be saved can be used to plant a tree for free. It can be said that here, environmental protection can be felt everywhere, and it is also an element and topic that everyone is consciously abiding by. Although Helsinki is cold, there are also warm places, such as the warmest library I have ever seen, in the central library of the hymn, for the first time I saw resources that can be used by everyone, sewing machines, 3D printers, meeting rooms, and some engineering design machines I have never seen before, even a whole floor of a huge bookstore and children's play area, children crawling on the ground, adults playing with them. It's raining heavily outside, Finland is very cold, but here it makes people feel extremely warm. The purpose of this trip to Denmark and Finland is to experience more about Nordic sustainable development related things, just this point is worth it, not to mention that I took so many photos that I feel shocked. This city may really be suitable for those who are willing to walk in the street with an umbrella, or walk into a coffee shop or restaurant on the street at will, willing to sit by the window, looking at the rain outside the window in a daze. Come here, don't deliberately pursue the time you chase me, it's not worth your time, and don't want you to ignore its most precious place because of the rush of the itinerary. So maybe every city has its own special and proud places, don't go too deep, this city may be like those two red and white castles, quietly watching the time flow, it doesn't belong to anyone, you just need to find the point you like it, maybe this is the meaning of travel.

There is such a Nordic restaurant in the garden of the Civic Center in Rovaniemi, Finland. At a glance, it is attracted by its unique architectural design, with a window of flowers and flowers, let people feel full of romance! The outside is full of people, the popularity is overwhelming, kappeli should be the local high-end restaurant, the customer is arranged in the sub-area, there will be a wardrobe with a special coat, the people who eat are very elegant to enjoy the food, each main dish will recommend Wine. Close to Helsinki Cathedral, walk to Stockmann is also very close, 15 minutes look, we parked in Stockmann, two cathedrals, the net red hotel are all within walking distance. . Tried reindeer meat, a little bit sloppy, no mutton heavy, with a little deer in it? Savory? Hard to describe. I tried it purely because of hunting. Not as good as steak. It is said that his family's foie gras is good.

I still remember to wake up to see the surprise of the snow fluttering outside the window, and walk to Esplanadi Park with a purple walk. There is a Helsinki 100-year-old restaurant Kappeli. The whole house is composed of floor-standing transparent glass and retro green steel frame. Under the cover of white snow and half cover, it is especially nice to look inside ~ glass house, warmly filled with the aroma of food, look outside the glass window Falling snow, countless romantic elements in the cold air dance happily on the apex~ are the beautiful atmosphere that can't be forgotten~

Temppeliaukion Church - The Stone Church

#celebratewithtrip A must-try attraction when you visit Helsinki. Very beautiful, peaceful and holy place to not only Christians but also tourists. A special church was created by carving into a huge stone. So the locals call it as "the stone church". Beautiful rock church open daily from 10am - 7 pm except Sundays. They offer 15 minute tours in English and Finnish. Cost to get in is 5 euro. Very lovely. #helsinki #finland #couplestrip

layover in Helsinki for 3hrs

I arrived at the Helsinki airport in the morning for a layover. I decided to sightsee the city of Helsinki during the layover for just 7hours, including the passport security which took almost 1 hour. I headed to the Templeliaukio church via Uber. I should have taken the train since it was way cheaper than Uber and similar time. The church was so impressive. As shown the picture, there was a 9 foot size Steinway grand piano. I wish I could play that piano and heard the sound which resonate the hall. Just looking closer at the piano and the pipe organ was content. I uploaded the video of visiting the Temppiaukio church at my YouTube channel called StoneMing. #helsinki #layover

Finland's most iconic rock church does not see the splendour of the traditional church and the cascading steps, which look like a flying saucer. The faade of the thick rocky base will be missed if you don't pay attention to it. Inadvertently through the tunnel-like entrance, drill into this rock church, you will find that there is a hole in the sky. There is no master sculpture, no icon, no gorgeous decoration. The walls of the church are rock. The front is a simple altar with a huge dome above it. Above the rock is a skylight that shines into the sky. Light of the light. On the edge of the altar, the female violinist plays an elegant tunes and listens quietly like a scorpio. This famous European church was built from a single piece of rock, designed by the famous designer Somaran Brothers, and completed in 1969. Standing outside the church, you can see a huge rock that does not see the spires and bell towers of the church. The bronze vault of the church makes people feel that they are not in the ground. Because the hall is ring-shaped, the sound effect is very good. In addition to religious activities, various concerts including symphonies are held from time to time. Finland is also known as the capital of design. The rock church is unique throughout Europe. The entire church is surrounded by a huge rock interior. It is very strange and the design is very creative. Only when entering the church can the business find his shock, the mysterious design, and the Finns' advocating natural and simple aesthetic feelings are fully reflected here.
