    Description:

    Saunas are a big part of Finnish culture as well as a big part of having a relaxing fun time. Helsinki offers a wide range of public saunas that easily rise to the occasion and serve as the highlight of your evening. Public saunas in Helsinki also offer a very nice way to unwind. If city life at any point feels overwhelming, saunas in Helsinki are a stone's throw away.

    Helsinki’s iconic Senate Square became an oasis of local food culture this summer when the area was transformed into a giant summer terrace. The visual appearance of the terrace area has been inspired by urban allotment gardens with their tiny cottages and vegetable patches.
