Any1 feel like going out to Kaiku or Siltanen tonight? I don't feel like going alone!

Love your city. Just curious how old the pavers in the city are, like these in market square

Hello Everyone!

I will be visiting Helsinki in the near future and my favorite hobby is finding local arts and crafts classes, usually something unique to the culture of the locality (Not just generic art classes, like painting a Gustav Klimt or Picasso painting), that I can sign up for and partake in. Are there any such classes in Helsinki or the surrounding areas that you guys are familiar with?

Thanks!

Hello everyone. I will be coming to Helsinki for the first time, and will be there from 4th June to 8th June. Looking for people to hang out with and recommendations for good death/black metal bars and shows.

Thanks

Around Easter, I was in Helsinki. Something happened that has been puzzling me. Our flight was at 8am on 1 April 2024 and we were staying in central Helsinki. We checked train times and saw there was a train from the central station at about 5.15 that would get us to the airport around 6am. However, when we got to Helsinki central train station, the doors were shut on Kaivokatu. We couldn't go inside the station!I looked through the door windows but couldn't see anyone inside the station. In the end, we were lucky there was a bus waiting that was going to the airport and we got it.

I feel we must have made some mistake but can't work out what it was! I know the clocks changed in the early hours of 1 April but I can' t link hat to what happened. Maybe we had to enter the station at another entrance?

Please can someone explain this?

We loved being in Finland. It's a lovely country!

I'm in town for a few days and would love to catch a metal show - I'm into black, death, and doom mostly. Anything you can recommend on tomorrow night?

Onko heillä oikeasti myyjistä pula koko ajan vai ilmoittaako ne oikeasti tarvitsevansa työntekijöitä?

Is there any place that you could use computers for free? Like a library or something like that?

And a very random question, do you know if they have like a adaptor to transfer photos, thank you and I’m sorry if it’s annoying

Ajattelin lähteä kyselemään jos täältä löytyisi helsinkiläisiä kiinteistönvälittäjiä tai muita tilanteesta tietoisia, että mistä johtuu Malminkartanon älyttömän alhaiset asuntojen hinnat? Toki yleisestikin käsittääkseni ainakin kaksioita on ylitarjontaa ja asuntomarkkinat hieman sakkaa, mutta tuntuu ihan hullulta että pääkaupungista saa 100k (tai jopa alle) kaksion. Kuitenkin juna vie nopeasti keskustaan ja autoyhteydet kaikkialle myös hyvät. Mikä siis vialla?

I'm in Helsinki for the next 2.5months with a UK registered car. I have found numerous areas across Helsinki that used to be free, now migrated to a monetised system.

Does anybody know of a low cost parking solution somewhere in Helsinki? (Better yet, an area/nook which is still free!?)

The best thing I've found so far is a Europark car park for 375€ per month

Hello! Just arrived to Helsinki and wondering if there is any place like Supamolly in Berlin.

Im interested in any "alternative" pubs related to street art or anything not touristy what I have found so far around Kamppi. (Dark, metal stuff can come too)

Gonna be here until Saturday, so clubs or a good party/concert is also welcome.

Thanks!

Hello, I'm a foreign student and i'd like to get an orthodontist appointment for the end goal of getting braces for my teeth. Does anyone have any recommendations for clinics i could go to or any other tip (possibly to save some money such as KELA ect...)?

Hello,

My girlfriend has recently flown through Helsinki airport however a very special and personal zippo lighter of hers has been confiscated. This really is a shot in the dark but by any chance would someone be able to pick it up in her name and deliver it to the Netherlands? The airport says that it can not send a package and we are unable to go to Finland.

Thank you in advance

Hei, r/helsinki

I am coming to your lovely city in a couple of weeks and would like to have a run or two during that business trip (weather permitting of course).

Any recommendation on where I should plan for a 5-10 km jog, keeping in mind I will be staying in the city centre?

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I am looking to spend like 4-6 weeks in Helsinki this summer and I'd like to find an apartment for that time. Has anybody got any suggestions for websites to check?

So far I have only looked on Airbnb. Of course if anybody here directly knows someone who might not be home between the end of July and beginning of September and is willing to sublease their apartment, I'd much appreciate the contact as well.

Thanks in advance!

TLDR: Should Helsinki marathons routes be changed to target turism? What are your thoughts on the Helsinki Marathon in general?

This weekend, I ran my first marathon in Helsinki during the Helsinki City Run Day. The event was well-organized, and I’m grateful to the organizers and volunteers. However, as I cant help think that the route could be better

The Marathon route involves two laps, covering the same path twice. While the scenery is beautiful, I believe we’re missing an opportunity to showcase more of Helsinki’s history and culture. Imagine running past Central Railway Station, the magnificent Helsinki Cathedral, and Kallio Church with its panoramic views.

With Marathons becoming such a huge turism attraction, wouldnt this be an intresting way to generate revenue for the whole economy?

If you are a runner or just someone that lives in the city, what are your thoughts of helsinki city marathons?

Hi everyone, I found this old Japanese Crossword magazine and now want to get more. Does anyone here know where to find it in Helsinki?

Thanks gorgeous any tipps!

Heyo!

I am travelling to Helsinki for the Flow festival 2024 primarily to catch Halsey's performance, and I am super excited for it! I'm determined to not miss out on the headliners, especially Halsey. So can I have some recommendations on whether the gold tickets are worth it? I really want to make sure I get a spot!

While I am there for the week, I want to spend some time around the city. Being unfamiliar with the Finnish language, I'm a bit concerned about navigating through the city and the festival grounds. Any tips on how to overcome this language barrier?

Additionally, do we have any must-do recommendations for activities during that week, maybe catching a glimpse of the northern lights?

I'd love to hear from you guys!
Thank you!

Anyone know when these will be put back in place? When I was there the other day they were out of the water, sitting on the riverbank (I would guess they were removed over winter)

Hi I want to know where i can find where they know how to cut asian hairstyles especially those kpop styles (2 block,middle part etc.) and also know how to perm asian hair?

Hi Im going to aalto this summer and when applying for ayy my housing application was place in the general category.Does this mean that it is very hard for me to get a offer?

Hey! The northern lights went pretty crazy yesterday and the prediction shows almost the same for tonight. Yesterday I was in Katajanoka, but it has quite much light pollution. What are some dark spots around Helsinki, zone AB?

I was thinking of Lammassaari, do you think it's pretty good?

Hei, I’m (30M) in Helsinki on a business trip and looking to make some friends while I visit. Looking to do whatever you’re up for that you recommend. Really up for anything tonight (11 May) and maybe a calisthenics workout, bar, sightseeing and/or a sauna tomorrow (my coworker suggested Sompasauna- looks fun!) or whatever you’d like to do! (12 May). Would anyone be interested in hanging out? Feel free to DM me and we can talk!

Hello. I know there is thread for this already but it is old and outdated. On Tuesday I’m auditioning for the Sibelius academy piano program. Unfortunately, I cannot practice there before my audition and I’ve been traveling close to a month with almost no practice. It is somewhat stressful. Does anyone know of any public pianos I could run through my pieces on in Helsinki? Or a place I could rent a piano to practice on? Acoustic pianos only preferably, it is bad for my technique to play an electric piano. I don’t think I can use libraries as I’m not from here and don’t have a membership. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Niin kuin sanoin eräässä toisessa postauksessa, olen menossa Helsinkiin muutaman päivän päästä ja tänään ajattelin tsekata, onko Helsingissä (tai yleensäkin pääkaupunkiseudulla) mitään hyviä kirpputoreja, joissa olisi videopelejä myytävänä. Löysin erään oppaan tähän liittyen (tämä: https://www.gameberry.net/artikkelit/kirppis.php ), mutta kyseinen opas on jo kymmenen vuotta vanha, ja suurin osa kirpputoreista jotka mainittiin, ovat pysyvästi suljettuja.

Kysyn siis nyt täällä; onko Helsingissä enää kirpputoreja, joissa pelikerääjän kannattaisi käydä? Pitäisi olla auki keskiviikkona, koska olen vain silloin kaupungissa.
