Helsinki is changing. In the old days, it was a bit stodgy. Sort of corporate, I thought. But the Finns are clever folks. They got into design and food and fun. So things began to get more fashionable and interesting in Helsinki. One traveler was pleasantly surprised … errrr… and not just by the saunas.
Another big surprise? Definitely the food! From the markets to a Finnish ‘sapas’ restaurant (a take on tapas), I ate SO much delicious food in Helsinki. There’s a real focus on a lot of the trends I saw happening in California recently – fresh, local foods and a selection of “small plates” so you can try lots of dishes.
Agreed. Check it out!
