Allas Sea Pool | Helsinki
In this guide, you will find the recommendations by Photographer Humberto Tan, who went to Helsinki in 201 and was amazed by its photogenic prowess and cultural and culinary treats.
Where to eat
WINTERGARDEN ST. GEORGE
Also called ‘your local living room’ where both locals and guests are welcomed with open arms. The menu of Wintergarden brings intense flavours. Indulge in its sweet and savory surprises and wine tasting.
ST GEORGE BAKERY & BAR
The spirit of the bakery is to create a cozy kitchen where people gather to have a glass of wine. They also serve freshly baked bread, sweet pastries, sandwiches, salads, smoothies.
The perfect place for a little (or not so little!) bite from breakfast all the way through to dinner.NOKKA
One of my favourite restaurants. Chef Ari Ruoho turns sustainable, organic, fresh produce into innovative dishes that warm the soul and save the environment.
NATURA
Intimate, family-run restaurant with the main focus on Finnish game, vegetables and sustainable seafood.
What to do
ALLAS SEA POOL
Spa with multiple saunas and a pool floating in the Baltic sea. The best thing about it is that it’s open all year long, so you can swim outside when its snowing.
FINNISH MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
Interesting museum for knowledge of Finnish nature, nice to bring your kids.
SUOMEN VALOKUVATAITEEN MUSEO
Finnish Photography Museum, the museum’s exhibitions cover Finnish and international contemporary photography, as well as the diverse history of the craft.
“On the way back from a trip to the North Cape for the Red Cross, I stayed in Helsinki. As a photographer, I love to be inspired. There definitely is plenty of creative inspiration to find in Helsinki. ”
