A beautiful and historical island in Helsinki. Must-see during summertime and one of our favorite places in Helsinki. We also got married in Suomenlinna church and had wedding celebrations in one of the historic buildings on the island. <3 Take HSL public transportation ferry, which go to the island and back once every 20 minutes. You may also experience some awesome misty moments during fall when sea water is warmer than the air. Go to lunch , dinner or drinks in Cafe Bar Valimo.

Iconic monument to the memory of Finnish national composer Jean Sibelius who has composed for example 'Finlandia'. Some people say 'Finlandia' should be Finnish national anthem, yet national anthem is 'Maamme-laulu'. This is not too exiting to us as we are not in fond of statues and monuments, but you should definitely have a look at this especially if you go to Cafe Regatta to experience a Finnish cafe.

Matti's ultimate favorite breakfast place. They have great omelettes, freshly baked bread, raw porridge, coffee with free refill cups & a lot more. They have also another restaurant closer to the apartment in Kamppi shopping center's 5th floor, which unfortunately doesn’t serve breakfast anymore but has burgers and pizza available. Nice view there as well but the older restaurant offers a more unique experience is what we think. During summertime Story Kauppahalli has also a nice summer terrace by the harbour.

This is our favorite place for lunch especially. Very tasty dishes. Asian fusion cuisine with a Hawaiian twist. Located in Kamppi shopping center 5th floor. If you are in a hurry, try to be at the restaurant 11.00 when lunch opens. It's not one or two days a week they have a long queue outside the restaurant around noon.

A truly Finnish cafe that is open 365 days a year. Enjoy a "korvapuusti" (Finnish sweet cinnamon bun) or even buy cold sausage (like then ones in hot dogs) that you can cook on open fire. That is something that Finns do after sauna or if cross-country skiing in the forest. Located next to Jean Sibelius monument so check that on the same trip.
