Style? ...What's that? |
10 Itätuulenkuja Helsinki 02100 Finland +358 9 455 4242 http://www.aladdin.fi |
Night Club Aladdin caters to people in their twenties (the minimum admission age is 22). Just follow the signs down the stairs and enter the kitsch world of Aladdin. That is really what the décor is about—it starts with the Arabian Nights, mixes in some other elements and finally creates a wild jumble that is very refreshing in this world of designer restaurants. The going gets equally wild, in a good way (but fear not - Batman is there, watching over everything). The dance floor is well lit with at least a dozen mirror balls. Partying is good, you hear usually what is charting at the moment, while the bar plays Finnish rock. There is also live music every now and then. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Variety of American dishes |
9 Mikonkatu Helsinki 00100 Finland +358 9 686 0000 http://www.ravintolaopas.net/a... |
Amarillo restaurant, situated right in the heart of Helsinki, offers a blend of the American and European cuisine. The chicken tortilla and the restaurant's own special Big Burger are favourites. Amarillo gets crowded quickly and so on Friday nights its advisable to make a reservation or head out early. The restaurant's dim lighting adds to the atmosphere along with the interesting décor. The waiters seem to know what they are doing, and the coffee house connected to the restaurant provides satisfactory service even on weekends. The bar at Amarillo must be one of the largest in the city. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cozy place with good food |
28 Uudenmaankatu Helsinki 00120 Finland +358 9 680 1405 http://www.ravintolaopas.net/b... |
Come by to Babushka Ira to sample some Russian cuisine at reasonable rates. This eastery is known for its lunch buffet served daily. The interior of this small restaurant resembles that of a high-class Russian dining room dating back to the early 1980s. The waitstaff is very efficient and you will be given the menu soon after you are seated. Choose the goose-liver paté for starters, and lamb's kidney tartare-style or the diced sirloin beef with smetana for the main course. Regardless of which day you visit, you are likely to find this place crowded so it is wise to book in advance. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Maritime café |
10 Merisatamaranta Helsinki 00150 Finland +358 9 622 4522 http://www.cafecarusel.com/ |
This seaside café allows you a good view of maritime Helsinki, from the terrace that seats 250. Watch bungee jumping done from one of the highest platforms in Scandinavia, while you eat.

The kitchen prepares homemade meals, a salad of the day and soup. Different kinds of breads like French or sunflower bread, paninis and toasted sandwiches go well with a regular coffee or café latte.

This hotel in Kallio district is a reasonably priced alternative for those who are keen on swimming, bowling or playing badminton, all available in the local sports hall. Across the street from the hotel is a sports ground where bandy is played during the winter, and football and tennis during the summer.

Inexpensive Chinese fare |
18 Iso Roobertinkatu Helsinki 00120 Finland +358 9 640 584 http://www.dragons-inn.org/inn... |
Dragon Inn is a Chinese restaurant on pedestrian street Iso Roobertinkatu. This street is home to many restaurants and pubs, and is crowded just about every night in the summertime. All restaurants place a terrace outside, as does Dragon Inn. This makes the place look shabbier than it is, but it is nice and tidy inside. Wide-ranging menus offer many specials from the Chinese cuisine at reasonable prices. Normally, both Chinese and Finnish beers are available. Overall, it's a good place with quality food so don't let the outside fool you. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Nice place for a stroll |
between Pitkäsilta Bridge and the railway Helsinki 00170-0053 Finland |
The inlet made up of the Kaisaniemenlahti and Eläintarhanlahti bays, between Pitkäsilta Bridge and the railway tracks, is a great area for walks. The streets are wide and in a good condition, and there is plenty to see. Kaisaniemenranta is the most beautiful part of the area, a wide boulevard surrounded by trees, framed on one side by the bay and on the other side by old wooden houses and stunning gardens. At Pitkänsillanranta the sights include the leafy shore and the gorgeous buildings looming above, and as you move further to Säästöpankinranta there are parks and a view to the fountain in the middle of the bay. On the opposite side of the bay lie Tokoinranta and Eläintarhantie, an area known not just for architectural sights such as the Helsinki City Theatre, but also for its parks. Most Helsinkiites know Tokoinlahti for the tent that is erected there during the annual Helsinki Festival, as a venue for performances by top Finnish and international artists.

Standing tall! |
12 Luotsikatu Helsinki 00160 Finland +358 9 622 1996 |
Though Restaurant Everest is regarded to be a Nepalese restaurant, its dishes and decor seem to be Indian. Standing tall even after several years thanks to its many vegetarian meals and tandoori chicken portions, this eatery is popular among both critics and the public. Chicken tikka is an excellent choice, as is Alu Tama, a mixture of potato, black beans and bamboo shoots. The prices are moderate so you enjoy the taste without making a hole in your wallet.

8 Kluuvikatu Helsinki 00100 Finland +358 9 131 401 |
Helsinki Club, "Hesari" for short, is the nightclub of Hotel Helsinki. Quite large, it is divided into three sections with separate décor—there is a warm conversation bar, a very cozy and plush whiskey bar with armchairs and cigars, and the dance floor which is a peculiar-looking modernized version of 70s American kitsch, slightly futuristic. The sections were completed by three different designers at different times, but it doesn't look as bad as it might sound. The customers are a varied lot of different ages, mostly consisting of well-dressed, decently well-off folk. The DJ plays European chart-toppers. There are five bars in total, offering something for everyone. There is the occasional live act as well. On weekends there might be queues, so arrive early! Review © 2007, Wcities |

White, chrome and a relaxed atmosphere |
29 Fredrikinkatu Helsinki 00120 Finland +358 9 621 4303 |
Jump Inn used to be the main hip-hop hangout in Helsinki. Today, the character has drastically changed with a higher minimum age and a complete change of interiors. It is bright with everything in white and chrome, simple, sterile and spacious with a wide-screen television featuring MTV. There is no real dance floor, but of course that doesn't mean that people don't dance. Music is provided by a DJ every night. Expect to hear funk, acid jazz and house. A number of regular club nights run at Jump Inn. Also, every other Sunday there is live music. The minimum age for admission is 22. Review © 2007, Wcities |

One of Helsinki's most beautiful parks |
Kaisaniemi Helsinki 00100 Finland |
Kaisaniemi Park, behind the National Theatre, is among the most beautiful parks in Helsinki and dates from the 1880s. It was named after Kaisa Wahllund, owner of a very popular café in the park. Students, fans of the park since the opening of the café, still cherish Kaisaniemi as their own. Early in the morning of May Day, the park fills up with students who, celebrate the day with song. The central landmark of the park is the small lake, and there are also several statues in a range of styles. Right in front of the park is Esirippu, a memorial to actress and theatrical impresario Ida Aalberg designed by Raimo Utriainen. Near the main entrance stands Convolvulus, a 1931 sculpture of a young girl by Viktor Jansson. On a steep slope dotted with trees is Nuori hirvi, a realistic statue of a young elk, which blends quite nicely into its surroundings. The park extends all the way to the lovely boulevard on the banks of Kaisaniemi Bay and to the historical Pitkäsilta bridge. The University Botanical Gardens are in the middle.

Majestic Kallio church |
2 Itäinen Papinkatu Helsinki 00530 Finland +358 9 753 2086 http://www.helsinginseurakunna... |
The spectacular Kallio church was designed by well-known architect Lars Sonck at the end of the nineteenth century. It was built of grey granite in 1912 onto a high place from where its handsome tower looms over the city. The bells of the tower play a melody composed by Jean Sibelius. Inside the church are numerous interesting details such as a crucifix and relief made by sculptor Hannes Autere. In 1990 the church got an urn cemetery, where urns are temporarily preserved and then transferred into a special stone grave under the church. This restored the old tradition of burying the deceased under the church floor. Kallio church is also known as a centre for organ music in Helsinki, the acoustics are excellent. The church has two organs—the main one represents the French Romantic style, and the other one is Baroque. These organs have been noticed and played by internationally known top organists.

Traditional Russian cuisine |
13 Meritullinkatu Helsinki 00170 Finland +358 9 135 6288 http://www.ravintolaopas.net/k... |
Kasakka is a traditional Russian restaurant with dark interiors in the central city area. This restaurant continues to be popular even after many years and reservations are recommended for every night. A popular appetizer is the cold portion of Russian herring, followed by a vegetable grill or the duck in a cabbage roll. The service is satisfactory. The food is of excellent quality and the prices are reasonable. However, fans of fast food will be disappointment—the traditional food takes a long time to prepare. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Remarkable large church |
23 A Tehtaankatu Helsinki 00140 Finland +358 9 709 2390 http://www.helsinginseurakunna... |
Agricola church, located near Kaivopuisto, was designed by Lars Sonck, the architect of the famous Kallio church. However, there are no similarities between this church and the Kallio church, as their architecture is inspired by totally different eras. This church is spacious and therefore an ideal place for big events. The tower is 106 metres in height, evoking an image of trying to reach up to the skies. The highest part of the tower is actually a steel needle, the most unique detail of this church. The name of the church comes from the father of the standard Finnish language, Mikael Agricola. Trams 1 and 3T as well as bus 14b can be used to reach this church. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Beautiful décor |

The first thing you notice about Mother Bar and Kitchen is the interesting interior décor. In the centre of Helsinki, the restaurant is nice and cosy, with tables, bar stools and sofa areas. A glass ceiling covers the stairwell going downstairs to the restrooms, giving quite an eerie feeling. The menu consists mostly of different kinds of snacks, sandwiches and cold dishes. Prices are, in a stylish place like this, fairly high. Overall, good dishes and an impressive artistic taste make up for the notched-up prices. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This popular but fairly small restaurant serves many delicious pizzas, pastas, fish and meat dishes. The wide selection of meat dishes is impressive. Prices are reasonable, and all portions are guaranteed to fill you up (when ordering one pepper steak, you in fact, get two). Employees are friendly; their service is polite and always functions well. This spot is recommended by many. Review © 2007, Wcities |

House of subculture |
8 Telakkakatu Helsinki Finland http://www.elmu.fi |
Nosturi is successor to the legendary Lepakko, an alternative house of music, art and theatre set up by the local live music association (ELMU) and Radio City, whose demolition was grievously mourned by all local subcultures (hippies, punks, rockers, bikers and avant-garde artists alike). The new site for ELMU turned out to be a previous shipyard hall, which after a successful restoration process was named Nosturi (Crane). Although Radio City and much of the visual arts side of Lepakko transferred to Kaapelitehdas, Nosturi contains musical facilities like Lepakko's (rehearsal studios for bands, club rooms, concert venues), featuring similar concerts and drawing the same audience, and it has quickly established itself as the foundation of the Finnish rock scene.

Italian with style |
7 Keskuskatu Helsinki 00100 Finland +358 9 622 6010 |
A nice, relaxed atmosphere for dining, drinking wine, discussing or just enjoying yourself awaits you at Papa Giovanni's. A personalised décor is planned carefully and carried out with delicacy. One of the interesting ideas is a cabinet for wines, made of glass. You can easily look at the good selection of different kinds of wines and make your own decision. Or ask the waiter; staff is really polite and have great knowledge of food and drinks. Instead of music, you can sometimes hear little birds singing. Food is, or course, Italian. You will find everything from pasta to steak, always with some specialties added like mortadella or ricotta cheese. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Renowned architectural masterpiece |
Rautatientori Helsinki 00100 Finland |
The Railway Station is an important symbol of Helsinki, as well as an internationally renowned pearl of architecture. The building dates from 1914, and represents late Finnish Art Nouveau. It is the main work of famous architect Eliel Saarinen. The façade of the Railway Station, with its main entrance framed by a row of huge statues holding lanterns designed by Emil Wikström, is a familiar sight to all Finns. The pink—granite and copper structure with its famous clock tower is beautiful inside as well; old lamps and a beige colouring are complemented by original woodwork, creating a warm atmosphere. The Railway Station brings together many forms of travel: railway, metro and buses (on the square next to the station). Trams go right past the building as well. The shops and tunnels under the station offer bargain shopping opportunities and good connections to most of the city centre. The tunnels are a convenient route to take especially during bad weather.

Restaurant Kaisaniemi is an interesting phenomenon on the north side of Kaisaniemi park, right in the heart of town. This extremely old octagonal building has hosted numerous events and parties, and is still available for special reservations. As a restaurant, Kaisaniemi flourishes as summer sets in. With a large terrace in the backyard, it attracts customers like a magnet. Winters balance out this popularity, and Kaisaniemi is practically empty. Its speciality is the Sunday buffet, which definitely gives you your money's worth. A large variety of meat stews, fish and vegetables is available. The interior of the restaurant itself is something to see. The old-fashioned décor and the peculiar structure of the dining hall remind visitors of the building's age. Many locals of Helsinki are emotionally attached to Restaurant Kaisaniemi and the memories it arouses. Review © 2007, Wcities |

44 Unioninkatu Helsinki 00170 Finland +358 9 1912 4453 http://www.fmnh.helsinki.fi/en... |
The University Botanical Gardens are a park within a park — an area of leafy trees, small footpaths and beautiful flowers and bushes. It is also the home of Finland's greatest botanical collection. The gardens came to Helsinki when the university changed locations after the great fire of Turku. The gorgeous greenhouses have been restored several times over the years, most extensively after the 1944 air raids. The gardens, designed by St. Petersburg architect Franz Falderman in the 1830s, are best known for their gorgeous C. L. Engel—designed main greenhouse, the central dome of which looms elegantly on the Kaisaniemi horizon. It is home to numerous tropical plants (cacti, orchids, royal water lily, cocoa), whereas the outdoor plants are from more temperate climates. The garden's main entrance is on Kaisaniemenranta, a boulevard that follows Kaisaniemi Bay, which is lined with old Empire—style wooden houses. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Restaurant Zinnkeller's kitchen serves central European food. Although there is quite a bit of variety on the menu, the strongest influence seems to be from Germany. A very popular, tasty and fairly inexpensive dish is the famous Bratwurst, which will definitely leave even the hungry diner satisfied. A good starter while waiting for your huge sausage is the Hungarian goulash soup. This is the place to go if you crave some German beer and sausages. The décor of the restaurant is quite tidy, and a pleasant mood is set. Review © 2007, Wcities |
