The most I miss about Helsinki , as I live in London now, is the cleanliness. I hate when people just litter here and there is bags of trash all over the place. It stinks also. I do not understand. I also miss the food in Helsinki. As you live around the same area as I lived with my bf, please try Fat Ramen from Hietalahden Kauppahalli! Best ramen ever! Hietalahden kauppalli also have some cool tasting/wine/music happenings. And also try Kippo, order the Sir Pesto sandwich with mozzarella. I dream about that sandwich. Best thing ever is to bake a traditional apple pie, take that with you and eat it with a loved one/ones in Eiran ranta.
Wow thank you for the great tips. Can't wait to try that dream sandwich! And yes, the trash situation in London is terrible!
London just seems to get worse by the year. Wonder why.
I'm an American who dated a guy from Finland so I got several opportunities to travel to Finland. I would say, I love their airport because it reminds me of my first time I travelled internationally. There is also a really nice cafe bakery but can't remember the name. We also sat at the top of the steps of this huge church in Helsinki. Other wonderful places include the outdoor market, the area where cruise ships dock or come near, the former prison turned hotel, a small beach area just off his cousin's neighborhood. So beautiful and yes, clean.
Why do you ask:)
Back again, not a negative because I travelled for Love and considered him to be my best friend at the time. He did ask me to marry him. I was barely out of Undergrad and wanted to experience more of the world and to truly began my career. That first trip outside of the USA inspired my entire family to get passports and travel the world(together, Sister Trips, and me as a fabulous Party of One). I adore the Nordic-Scandinavian cultures (and it's People) and I even practice Hygge to this day. He still holds a special place in my heart and I wish him only the best life has to offer.
Judging by the comments, there are clearly a lot of people living in the countryside that are watching these videos xD Helsinki is a lovely and beautiful city. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
Eira is definitely really expensive, but really nice. Recommend going to the Kaivarin Kanuuna flea market and stopping by Café Carusel, which offers both decent food and coffee, together with a view. Of the more southern parts of town Ullanlinna is my personal favourite.
Dave, if you haven't ventured that much outside the southern areas, jump on tram 4 and go to Munkkiniemi, also really lovely, especially in the summer. Stop for coffee at Café Tarina, Max Café or Torpanranta. Check out the townhouses on Hollantilaistentie or take a stroll along Munkkiniemen puistotie.
Or take tram 1 and visit Puu-Käpylä. Along the way make a pit-stop in Vallila and have some really good kebab at King Kebab. If you feel daring, try to see if you can sneak in at the courtyard (sisäpiha) of Sammatintie 6-8 and be amazed. After that continue the ride towards Puu-Käpylä and have a walk around the neighborhood/Pohjolankatu. If you want to have some really good cake and coffee, cross Mäkelänkatu and go to western Käpylä and have a coffee at Kavhila Siili (not sure if they already closed for the summer though).
Last but not least, take the metro to Kulosaari or Herttoniemi and walk/bike out to Kivinokka. It's a really picturesque place and something you wouldn't expect to so close to the city. There are some 600 tiny summer houses (kesämaja) there. In the summer you can stay at the beach or have a donut (and coffee, of course) at Maijan kahvila, but it's absolutely worth a trip year round.
Uteluttaa että mikä ton sammatintien sisäpihalla on niin siistiä? :D Jos voit valaista? En siis ole siellä käynyt
Dave, I highly recommend a café called ”Café Aalto” if you haven’t already been there :) It is an expensive, but an insanely good café. The adress is ”Pohjoisesplanadi 39, Helsinki” and it is in the second floor of Akateeminen Kirjakauppa/Stockmann. I’ve gone there many times on Saturdays for like at least 11 years now (I’ll turn 18 in November if that interests you in any way :D) 😌 My dad used to always take me there before he passed away when I was 10, nowadays I go there with my mom, and I’m still happy with the quality of their Karelian pies for example.
Hope you are fine, have a lovely autumm! :)
Best regards, Johannes from Espoo
Back when I lived in UK, the one thing I missed most about Helsinki was so called "pussikalja" meaning "bag beer", when you go buy some beers or ciders and sit down in a park with friends to drink a few, maybe eat a little. That's one of the things my british friends also said they liked about Helsinki. That and the beautiful old cobblestone streets :) I feel as though UK is very focused on pub culture that people don't spend time outside (apart from a few parks in London) the same way we do here!
PS. Beautiful videography Dave, hoping to see lots of videos like this in the future as well!
My favourite places in Helsinki are Töölö and Linnänmäki. 😍😍
Really nice video! Great picks as well! There were even a couple I didn't know about 🤔
Thanks man! :)
I was in a 2-week long study abroad program in Helsinki, and while I wish it was so much longer, I am so grateful for the experiences there and I hope that I get the chance to go back again! Lost in Helsinki is a pretty hipster-y cafe that I really loved, Momotoko had some of the BEST ramen that I have ever had, and the open air markets near the center of the city, only a few blocks away from the cathedral at 6:20, had some of the best strawberries that I have ever tasted. So many hidden gems...I miss this city so much
OH MY GOD DavE. I live in Helsinki and that yellow house in 4.34 and 5.20 was my old house!! Hope you had wonderful time in Helsinki!💕I bet you biked past my window since we live near our old house and Eira at the moment! My favorite place in Helsinki is Kaivopuisto and Eira too tbh!
I've been living in eastern Helsinki (jakomäki and mellunmäki) for 2,5 years, and i loove how close the nature is here ✨ the sea isn't too far away, there's nature reservation parks, the houses aren't built right next to each other. Sure the neighbourhoods aren't as pretty and old as Eira, but they have their own charm of quite recent wild history, old ppl living in the same areas they moved to when they were lil kids... It's just so much fun here, not too snobbish like i feel some parts of Helsinki are ✨
Lauttasaari is my favorite place in Helsinki. The island of the happy.
That is a REALLY nice place!
I worked on a construction site there in 2011, gotta agree beautiful at summer! Though I live in Hämeenlinna ;P
I live there!!!!
You should go to Friends and brgrs . You will get there by going to helsinkin yliopisto with the metro. Then you go out and then you'll look to the right. If you see a resturant thats green and it says Friends and Brgrs your there!
I hope Cat has talked about it since she is a swedish speaking finn and it's very popular among them.
I've been to Helsinki a couple of times, and my most favourite thing is the incredible architecture overall!
I'm so called "barefoot Stadilainen" which means that my family has been living in Helsinki for generations and this list is pretty good. As a Finn my personal favorite is still Stadin slangi, it's this dying "accent/slang" we have used since the late 18th century to be able to communicate with other kids who are from Russia or Sweden when we didn't have language to share and at later date kids from the U.S
I personally use Stadin slangi when talking with my family and if there's a person who speaks only Swedish or English in the room, they can usually somewhat understand what we are talking about, even more than native Finnish speakers outside of Helsinki
Also, sometimes it seems like rest of the Finland hates stadin slangi but i'm not really sure why, maybe it's just because they can't understand it.
I don't even really know how much of my talking is Stadin slangi, I only know when my speech sounds really formal.
well, the best thing in Helsinki for my boyfriend was charging station for electric bicycles :D
I was charmed by - generally speaking - everything in this city. I love archiceture, handicrafts shops, many bicycle roads and of course cleanliness. One of surprising things was clean, fresh air and that everywhere was magical green grass or trees. Walking among Finnish people was very pleasant for me, because they were so calm, relaxed and they even have smiled sometimes. I felt very, very, very safe in this city. I eager back to Finland. Amazing country.
Gotta say my impressions of cleanliness between central London and major cities in Finland (Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Turku, Tampere etc.), London wins in overall street cleanliness. If you haven't seen Turku central marketsquare at Saturday or Sunday morning, well you might think cities in Finland are clean. While there are plenty of trashcans, many people are still so damn ignorant. I was surprised while visiting in London that while there aren't bins dotted all over the place like we have, there still isn't any trash to be seen. But then there are bags on bags of house waste. Thats where I can see scale tipping another direction. Since we use central bins for apartment complexes, there's no need to dump your garbage bags to street for days waiting to be collected. Central bins are emptied every other week, and every apartment complex has them enough to not be filled, unless its Christmas time.
I believe some containers are emptied even more often.
If you want to have a nice old fashioned sauna experience in Helsinki, I'd really recommend Kotiharjun sauna in Kallio. It's an example of old urban sauna culture in Helsinki and Finland since 1920s. Because people living in the city didn't use to have saunas nor even showers in their apartments, they went to these "city block saunas". Bring some beer, have some löyly, go outside to cool off a couple of times and feel the relaxation. (TIP, also bring a pair of sandals and "pefletti" with you. It's REALLY hot in the sauna ;))
Lovely trip with you guys through Helsinki! You make fun videos!
I was also yesterday in Helsinki, in my shorts. A very warm day. Ten points for the city to collaborate with Dave !
so smooth! me like. Rautatieasema! best place to sleep when you are drunk.
i live in Helsinki and i just love to hang out with my friends or teammates especially somewhere with a sea view like Katajanokka or Hernesaari and for example drink iced coffee
10. Dave Cad
Haha you're too kind 😁
I'm just honestly waiting for him to change his name into the finnish Taavetti lol.
Last time I was in Helsinki I fell in love with Float Kallio 😍 I’d love to see you and Cat go there and float your troubles away! 😄
I fancy the architecture in Etu-Töölö, enjoy the bars with live music, and like the fact the each part of the city has it's own atmosphere.
My favorite thing in Helsinki is walking on the ice right front of Kaivopuisto. It's very beautiful on a sunny day late in the winter.
lived here my whole life and i absolutely love it!!
The view from the metro between Kalasatama and Vuosaari is beatiful.
My favorite thing about Helsinki. Restaurants in spades. Just so many to choose from. Entertainment also. I live in a small town in Finland. I visit Helsinki quite often. The parks. There are a few big and nice parks. Being from a small town, nature is close to heart.
My Favorite thing In Helsinki is varusteleka.
The only place to get the SA M36 summer tunic, even if its ridiculously expensive
Lekafest is coming!
My favorite places to go and things to do in Helsinki are Suomenlinna and Vuosaaren huippu
and i totally saw u on the tram doing the lil clips and knew a new video was on the way
Haha! That's hilarious 🤣
I loooove the kirkko, but not the steps. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 And Espa puisto. 😍
My favourite (or one of them) is there are so many places to just sit and watch people that are free (as in not cafes and restaurants), like the cathedral steps and benches in esplanadi park, etc.
👩🏻🌾💚👋😊 Hello, Dave! Here are some of my favourite things in Helsingfors - Helsinki:
-- Kappeli (Kapellet) café - restaurant and the Esplanade park walk.
-- The Sinebrychoff Old Art Museum on the Boulevard.
-- The Atheneum National Art Museum.
-- instead of just walking along the city center streets around the railway station, take a walk along the shoreline, particularly along the South Harbour and westward.
-- The outdoor museum of Seurasaari (Fölisön) Island, including lunch at the restaurant in the middle of the island.
-- The Meilahti (Mejlans) villa area, a walk along the through-road.
-- The beach area of Munkkiniemi (Munksnäs), in the summer.
-- The atelier home of painter Akseli Gallen-Kallela at Tarvaspää.
-- Eira, yes.
-- The National Museum on Mannerheim Street.
-- Café Ekberg on the Boulevard.
-- Café Fazer in the center.
There are nice waterfront cafés all along the shoreline.

Great video and commentary. I am planning a Baltic trip, and Helsinki and Tallinn are at the top of my list. And, I also do love a good tram...so convenient and affordable and fun!
Haha! I'm watching a video about Helsinki while I'm on my way there! :D
Great! Enjoy:)
Oh Eira, I´m so with you on that one! I grew up there, and it´ll always have the biggest places in my heart.
Wow! You're so lucky! Such a beautiful place!
It is, and I just got the biggest smile when I saw that your video and my old hoods. A little weird fact about the church of Agricola you might have seen there; the tower can be lowered inside the brick walls.
One of my biggest faves in Helsinki is the Lush shop. I also like Suomenlinna and Korkeasaari a lot.
It's kinda hard thing to pinpoint some single favorite thing in Helsinki since I've lived here all my life. One thing you should do is to visit the suburbs or border areas of Helsinki since it's really much more than just the city center. Well you kinda do as you will be visiting Malmi which is only few kilometers from where I live. Not exactly Helsinki but you should also take a little trip and visit Luukki since you like nature and it's really not that far from Helsinki.
Looking forward to the Ruska vlog. Warm days ended now, so leaves should start chancing more color there too soon. This has been bizarrely hot September, it should have been whole month what weather is next week. Maybe Finnish summer just wanted to make you feel welcome here :)
I loooove the Havis Amanda Statue, the Helsinki card for three days, the markets all around and od course Hietaniemi ranta!!!!
You should visit part of helsinki called Käpylä. Just google it, you can get there on a tram nro. 1
Another cool and kind of unique thing about Helsinki is that a big part of the city exists underground, and you can actually get to a lot of places through sort of tunnel networks. Very nice in the winter, if it's too cold to be outside all the time :p
Dave, I LOVE your channel. I hope I get to Helsinki some day. My favorite thing and what sparked my interest in Finland - Finnish movies! Share some of your favorites sometime. Thanks for all you do. Best from Louisiana in the States.
My fovorite thing in Helsinki is "Naughty brgr" (retaurant) you shoud try it. So AMAZING
The harbour is the best. And those ice-cream stores in summer!!
My favorite place is El Grego reataurant ❤️ Gorgeous Greek food and the staff, they are so lovely! I go every single time when I'm in Helsinki 😍
I am not religious but church in the rock is fantastic. It has a dome ceiling so go to the middle to hear the sound.
Would like to recommend Restaurant Perho. It's a restaurant ran by students and staff of Perho Culinary, Tourism and Business College and they usually have some kind of special theme going and on sundays they often have a special brunch.
Ooo must try that place holiday next time I’m there. The bikes are super useful!!!
I think Munkkiniemi is probably my favorite area in Helsinki - if I had to choose an area to live in Helsinki again, that would be it (though Eira and Ullanlinna would be on the list for sure, if I could afford it). Such a nice and quiet little area by the sea, while still being close enough to the city center.
And if you want to see trash (and sanitation workers hard at work), I would recommend a visit to Rautatientori on Saturday or Sunday in the early hours of the morning. The amount of garbage everywhere is staggering from what I remember back when I lived in Helsinki.
Oooh yeah Munkkiniemi is really nice! I passed through there recently and it's a really pleasant place to be.
3:40 -> Looks like you wanted to get rid of your wife! You went so fast and Cat had disappeared in the next clip. 🤣
Cleanliness is also something I have come to appreciate lately. I have now spent couple of days in Bucharest, the capital of Romania (and I'll be here for two more months), and as I've been exploring the city I've noticed that there's trash everywhere. There is garbage bins here and there, but they are all full or broken, or both. So yeah. It's quite important job that those garbage truck drivers do.
Yep! I think you only really appreciate it when you visit somewhere that isn't as clean and it hits you!
Everytime I hear yours and Cats love story I am just like awww.
All the *best* from somewhere in Finland
Ps. These orange / yellow leafed trees in the autumn are like beeeeeest
Aw thanks :) Yeah, I'm loving the autumn so far and it's only just started :)
I like visiting the Hietalahti Market Hall
Hietalahden kauppahalli, Kaivopuisto observatory and the Riff. There are still so much more to see & explore
I also love Eira/Ullanlinna area. I'd also recommend a walk in Puu-Käpylä (when it's still green, although it's really pretty in autumn as well) and also Vanhakaupunki area near Cat's school. :)
Puu-Vallila as well, especially the Pikku-Vallila pub.
You should really do a tour in Kallio! What is your favourite pub in Helsinki?
I miss Helsinki so much my mother is from Helsinki. But my mother and me is so sick. I waiting for a kidney so a can't travel and my mom is too sick for traveling . But so glad to see you videos from Helsinki
I hope you get well and get to come to Helsinki soon!😊
Awesome editing! 👍
Thanks!
Fabulous video..like a day trip to Helsinki.
Come visit Kotka. It's 1 and a 1/2 hour away from Helsinki.
If you want to visit Kouvola too, it's a train ride -- if not, take a bus. I'd say -- in Kotka, visit Maretarium... just to see what all the Finnish sea- fish look like.
Is it true that they don't kick you to the head if you are a decent guy?
Edwin van der Laine
True
Hey Dave. You should try Trillby & Chadwick @helsinki if you wan't to drink few pint's in "hidden" place. I totally recommend it. This is not a "known" place. Enjoy your stay in Helsinki!
Ooo I love a secret bar! Thanks for the heads up
I spend my time in a restaurant called Memphis when I come to Helsinki, Right near the train station. Even there right now 🤣
I've lived here for a couple of days now, and by far my favorite place here is Taivaskallio :)
Have you tried lunch at Pompier (Albertinkatu)? If not, you have to! i guarantee you'll love it. I really recommend going on a Thursday for peasoup, muikut and pannukakku but any day is good.
It’s really cool that you filmed it outside!
I don´t live in Helsinki but i have been there many times. So my favourite places are. Temppeliaukio church, Kaisaniemi park few to mention. Greetings from Vaasa, Finland :)
Got me talked to go see Baskery. Banjo punk just sounds so interesting 😄
There are amazing "homemuseums" Reitz and Kirpilä, hidden gems in Helsinki 😊
Ooh thanks for the tips!
"My favourite Ei-rea.."
Dave, you're better than puns like that XD
Hahaha I don't think I am... xD
You should visit cafe Regatta, a little cozy cafe at Töölö. :)
Thanks for the tip! :)
One of the best videos I have ever seen! Love the editing💛🙌🏻
Thank you! That's very kind of you to say :)
eira is a very difficult place to get to, at lest according to the realistic movie calamari union.
As a foreigner, a stroll in Seurasaari is a magical thing. Regarding coffee, still looking. Honestly, I’m watching and hoping for people in the comment section to recommend places :D Greetings Dave!
Feeding squirrels in Seurasaari
Mm yeah some good coffee spots would be great to know!
It has been a while since I have been in Helsinki. The last time I was there my wife and I would go get breakfast at the market right on the water's edge. It was like a farmer's market but with all sorts of vendors. Our favorite was a couple of girls selling crepes with strawberries. Is this market still happening on the weekends? I don't remember if it was just the weekends or if it happened everyday.
What about night noise in Helsinki? Is it loud enough that affect your sleep ?
Jumbo. Just. Jumbo. It's a great shopping center.
Onhan se hieno kaupunki, mutta en ite haluais kyllä asua siellä.

So Eira deserves to be on the Monopoly board! (I’ve never seen what it’s like until now)
Peggy, I do believe that Eira is one of the most - if not the most - expensive deeds in the Finnish version of Monopoly :-)
I've not seen the Finnish monopoly board but I'd assume it's where Mayfair is on the British version
Dave, unfortunately I do not know, as I have never seen a British version - only the Finnish and Swedish ones. IIRC, Eira is the last and most expensive deed, but I'm not a hundred percent sure of that. To everyone else: please correct me if I got this wrong.
In an older "mark" version it was Erottaja, Mannerheimintie and then Eira.
Have you been in the new shopping centre “redi” which opened on Thursday at kalasatama?
Wait when did you film this? Because yesterday our school was on a trip to Helsinki and we were sitting on the 'Tuomiokirkko's' stairs.(If you are not sure what Tuomio kirkko is, it's seen on the right at 6:29
You are best youtuber
I'm glad you think so!
That very beginning of this video! 🌲/5
My fav is satama and alekaanterinkatu :)
Thank you for this video. I've been studying abroad at Otaniemi and my parents are coming to visit soon... But being a student with little money I haven't seen much :( so thanks for some suggestions! Also, suomenlinna is pretty cool :)
You're welcome Mariana! Yes! Suomenlinna is great!
Lol try some smaller finnish city (especially ones that are "ghost towns") just to compare them to Helsinki. You'll be surprised how different everything is. Sincerely, someone who lives in one of such godforsaken heckholes.
Visit City tampere!
It's one thing that I do not get..why do people in London throw so much litter on the ground..not the BIN..keep London clean.
nice cut video dave
1 thing what I like about Helsinki is food, there are many good places. even tho i don't live there :)
You should watch the new tuntematon sotilas if you already haven't seen it
I REALLY want to!
Viikki and Lammassaari area in summer.
Are these really your favorite's or did they just bought your stamp of approval?
It seems like you need to learn a lot more about areas outside of Central Helsinki.
You have to try Naughty Brgr at Lönnrotinkatu 13, and their NYC Cheese is just unbelievable, i highly recommend!
Oooooh I've been to Naughty Brgr once and it was awesome! I'll have to try the NYC Cheese next time!
My favorite part of Helsinki is the train station, because that's quick and easy way to get to Turku.
Unicafe is a lifesaver for me
Is that something for students?
For the optimal discount yes (2.6 euros)! But anyone can eat there and the menu changes everyday so it's great. Also good veggies too, it's where I eat 90% of my veggie intake. Of course quality isn't the highest but couldn't live without it haha
I love Eira too 😍
I live in Finland
What did you do In arabianranta when you talked about the tran. Btw my favourite place is elläintarha skate park
