  • I just visited Helsinki for the third time this year. This time I tried some crazy fresh salmon and visited the top things to do in Helsinki during winter!

    I started my journey to Helsinki from Singapore, flying with Finnair in Business Class. When I arrived in Helsinki I took the train to the city center and went straight to my hotel, Klaus K Hotel.
    My friend Meri picked me up and took me to see some of the must visit sites in the city. From Cafe Regatta, to the Kaisma Museum to Helsinki's Cathedral and many more sites.
    For lunch I went to the Old Market Hall to try some crazy fresh salmon. First I tried a few different pieces of raw salmon and to stay warm I decided to eat a salmon soup. The soup was out of control!

I am going to Helsinki in about 12 hours and saw you had posted this. Thank you for the tip about the train from the airport. I've done some research about Helsinki, but no one else seems to mention anything about the cab prices and lack of Uber. I bet you saved me a bunch of money on an expensive cab ride. Keep up the good work!

    I adore Helsinki, and Finland in general. I was lucky enough to live there for four months about 10 years ago. Couldn't afford a lot of the amazing food there in restaurants as a cash strapped student so will try to go back one day! I did go during the summer so had lovely weather (though it was daylight almost all the time). The sauna experience is a must.

      around 48ish euros per kilo. I estimate that to have been about 150grams, so it's a pretty standard price in a restaurant. At my job, we sell it for 34,90€/kg

  • @MikkoVille

  • @j.lahtinen7525
    @j.lahtinen7525 5 лет назад +1

    Just an update to the taxi situation - it's nowadays a little cheaper than what you said. Taksi Helsiki taxies offer a fixed price trip to the city center at 41€ for 1 to 4 people, and 57,30€ in a bigger car for 5 to 8 people. Of course, the train is still the cheapest, so if your hotel is near the central railway station, it's clearly the cheapest way to get there. If your hotel isn't within walking distance of the railway station, then it becomes a question of convenience or cost - what is more important to you?

That's what Finland actually is.

    I hope you enjoyed it, because that was a rather expensive restaurant trip, from Hong Kong! Fish soup (kalakeitto) can be made of many different fish. It's really called fish soup, not salmon soup. Edit: although I suppose a restaurant might want to make a point what fish it contains, like lohi or made.

    Wow your guide is one of those “I live in the center of Helsinki” and that’s all there is in Helsinki. She lives in a bubble. Helsinki is so much more than the center of Helsinki, there’s plenty of suburbs and interesting places outside of the center which obviously your guide has probably never been because she’s too good to leave her special center of Helsinki. It’s a small city for small minded Punavuori people who live in a bubble of their own, for other people from Helsinki there’s so much more than the center and I wouldn’t call a city of 616690 residents that small.
