A place to go and meet the "real finnish people". Interesting mix of different kind of people. Located on third floor with windows facing the busy street of Hämeentie. Therefore it's an interesting peoplewatching place.

My favourite bakery. It's very old and they make beautiful bread and sweets. The owner is this sweet old lady who just doesn't retire because she loves her shop! - not open on weekends.

Sightseeing
Old fortress on an island near Helsinki. Great place to go with a ferry on a sunny day. Gather a piknik and go find a quiet place in the island. On a really sunny day you can swim there.

Our favorite urban getaway! It's very cool sauna organized by some volunteers. it's small but the athmosphere is beautiful. We often go there with some beer and stay there the whole night. The best summerplace in Helsinki and a great place to meet people. It's also next to the Helsinki Zoo, therefore you can sometimes hear the lions roar from the near by island.
