Your vids are like comfort food for me. A great mix of your boundless enthusiasm and very helpful tips. You make us feel welcome and make these trips feel attainable, unlike so many other channels. Well done. That salmon soup looks devine.
Swedish is an official language in Finland and it is the mother tongue of ca. 5 % of the population, mainly in coastal areas. Both groups have to study the other language at school except people on Åland Islands which are officially Swedish speaking.
I have only once in my life heard swedish spoken here in central Finland outside of school classroom. I can at least say that swedish speakers do not seem to be living here.
Chloé, thank you for excellent video of our capital! Excellent content as always, great facts and love your enthusiasm ❤ I must add, reindeer is much more delicious when sautéed and enjoyed with mash potatoes, than the way you tasted it 😄 Bear meat is really rarely eaten, I'd say mostly it's sold in Lapland and some places in Helsinki. I don't know any fellow Finns who would have even tasted bear meat, so you were more adventurous than locals!
Great video, love it and would eat all that delicious food . Also, I was read a Moomin book by my teacher in the late 1970’s back in west Auckland at primary school, so I was about 8 or 9 years old, and I was enthralled with it. Lol
I felt it necessary to pause the video to mention that Finland is not a part of Scandinavia! Sauna is a Finnish tradition, not Scandinavian tradition 😃 Glad you enjoyed Finland though! 😊 Too bad Ludvig didn't understand the beauty of karjalanpiirakka 😔😔😂 (You should definitely try them with egg butter!)
Moose is actually quite common, especially in the countryside, because Finnish people hunt them. Bears are being hunted so little, so just few people can actually eat it.
Moomin mug's are also highly collectable. Every time new one is released (few times a year) people line up the stores. Some of them are rare and expensive because production begun in 1950. They are usually auctioned run from few thousand up to 10k. One of our national newspapers prints article's when they are sold.
Wow you're really good at this so we've subscribed :) We'll be crossing from Tallinn to Helsinki in a couple of days and I'm heading straight to the market to get that salmon soup. cheers! from an Aussie and a Kiwi.
🙌🏼 yay so happy you enjoyed the vid and joined our channel! Oh my goodness you’re going to have a blast and I’m very happy to hear your grabbing a salmon soup …you won’t regret it😜
Chloe, I hope you read this because I really believe this message may help your channel grow. In the BC Okanagan Valley, specifically on Shuswap Lake, there are several excellent companies that rent out amazing houseboats for anywhere from three days to a week or longer. We have rented them for our family vacations several times with several companies, and it was always AMAZING. I have yet to see any other travel channel record their houseboat trip but I'm certain it would spark a lot of interest with your viewers. I hope you consider this for a future video.
Note: we have always stuck to companies based in Sicamous as the others tend to launch in areas where the shores are almost completely packed with cottages. As you can imagine, the owners of those cottages are none too happy with hundreds of houseboats infringing on their previously private and peaceful turf.
Wow thanks for that awesome suggestion! A houseboat stay is actually high on my travel bucket list! So I will definitely be checking out that area of the world when I look at booking 😀 thanks so much!
@@chloeandludvig If you do happen to go out on Shuswap Lake, I tell you about all of the must see spots. There are quite a few. In all honesty though, my favorite spots were always on the boat and with in a couple of hundred meters around it. It's a vacation best enjoyed with at least a few friends or family
@@chloeandludvig The English speaking world often includes Finland and Iceland in Scandinavia; for the Nordic people Scandinavia is Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
Hi, just wondering if you remember the name of the stall serving the amazing salmon soup? Visiting Helsinki tomorrow and came across your vlog, drooling just by watching it! Loved ur vlog btw!
Oooo I can't remember the exact name - but it was located at the very end of the market (opposite side from the water). It is located on the end corner!
@@elviiralehtonen1604 I loved it! Caught aurora at first hunt. But the weather wasn't great on some days, and some of our activities were cancelled due to the weather and road conditions.
Very nice video! Want to replicate the whole experience.. can you please confirm: what month of the year were there and; can you suggest a travel agency that provides the city tour you took? Thanks
Thanks for joining us! Awesome that you want to replicate the experience! We were here at the end of April, and I booked the food/city tour through Viator :)
The rye bread you had with salmon is sweet rye malt bread known as black bread, I believe, around the Baltic Sea. It's good stuff but most Finns eat the sour and hard or sour and soft kind.
you can have the the ferris wheel im afraid of hieghts.. when i was in London they had one the London eye... my friends went on it i stayed on the ground lol.. and this one u stand in and it stops nopeeeee,!!!! when I was watching you on it my legs where shaking
I think only tourists eat at that indoor market. For us Finns there is Hietalahden halli for restaurants and Hakaniemen halli for fish, meat, veggies, bread, cheese and so on.
A other awesome video. I loved Helsinki, but need more time there. It was really only a stopover on the way to Iceland for me. Funny how people view food differently. I don't think I'd like caviar, but I've had reindeer on Hurtigruten ship before and i'd try bear. My main issue with game meats is, what the animals status is in the wild, so would need to research that with bear i think! I know reindeer are farmed so ok with that.
Thanks for watching Justin! So glad you liked the video - and yes definitely recommend spending more time there if you get the chance 😁 cool that you’ve been on Hurtigruten!! We’re cruising with them this year!!
@@formatique_arschloch Disney's reindeers are from different universe. Rudolf has antlers in middle of winter. Only female reindeers have antlers in winter. So something ain't right.
@@chloeandludvig All movies and animations are nothing but fairytales. Rudolf the red nose reindeer is a fake, one way or another. Female reindeers keep their antlers during winter. Rudolf is a male but has antlers.
But.. did you hear about the family this past week in South Dakota that got muscle parasites from eating medium rare bear meat. Because even smoking and freezing cannot kill them. Only well done
Is Finland still safe to visit? I heard there's a strong military presence which makes me nervous about going or other guests who choose to visit in 2024 - 2025
I've been in University library tens of times, but I studied history so it might not be surprising. If you have bever been there, you should visit as it has been chosen as one of the most beautuful libraries in the world. Been in the rock church plenty of in concerts and other events as well, some of which they had to remove disturbing tourists from. When there is any kind of event the church is closed for tourists. Been to the main Market hall some times, but not lately. I have to agree it is quite touristy. We went to Moomin cafe as well, when it existed and over half of the visitors were Finnish. I know even people who have been in the Ferris Wheel. So some Finnish people do visit these places and they are not just for tourists.
nice see yuo like Helsinki i like salmon fish and salmon soup -> Lohikeitto i eat 5 day in week but when salmon KG price go sky high i wait salmon go back to ocean and eat poor people food cow
TBH I had to stop watching after a few minutes as your endless deluge of words was overwhelming. Have a breather once in a while and let the viewer reflect on your info and scenery.
@@chloeandludvig For sure. Finland and Sweden gone together hand in hand for more than 700 years. And now , on the NATO -systems, Finland stood by Sweden. Finns do love Sweden, when we are not talking about Ice Hockey. I live in Helsinki, and I lived 10 yrs in Stockholm. Kind of cool. After the war, King of Sweden said : Finlands sak är vår. And now Finns said that Swedens sak är vår, in order to get them to NATO. Food is almost the same and so on. I´d probably still live in Stockholm, but the prices for a rental apartment is beyond too high. And waiting for a Stockholm-city apartment is around 25 years. The only thing I disliked about swedish cuisine was surströmming. People are nice, nothing bad to say, miss them, and I go there maybe 12 times a year. A little tip for You : Viking Glory from Turku/Åbo, cabin nr 8827....they will bring you breakfast to your cabin, even if you enjoy in a hot bath in the cabin and open a bubble of skumvin ;) If I´ve not mistaken, the cabin is called Sunset suite. Thanks/ tackar/ kiitos , vid´s are cool!
@@chloeandludvig Also, almost wall to wall to the Presidential palace is a Swedish flag. Yes, that palace is Swedish embassy palace, so we really do appreciate our history together. That is why we learn swedish at school, and swedish is an official language here. So whether you need a doctor or so, you will have the option of speaking in swedish by law.
Good Lord, what's up with all the foreign men wearing headgear while eating? It should be self-explanatory to remove headgear while inside not to mention at the table.
I understand very well why in southern Europe the local people are tired of tourists... It seems to be common to eat with a cap on... Probably he even goes to bed wearing boots...
Hey guys! I think you've made it? Because they put a long@ss Tay's Era's Tour promo before this vid? Woo hoo! (Though, I really wanted to go to D+ and rewatch the concert?) 🫣 You know, these European vids are giving off a strong Rick Steve's vibe (which is, of course, AMAZEBALLS!) I may even be able to show your vids to my 85yr old British-educated, English teacher, PBS loving mum. (Think Maggie Smith in Downtown Abbey.) Great vid guys!💕
Hehe Tays concert? That’s rather exciting isn’t it!! Ooo Rick Steve’s …that’s a great compliment! Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video and the ASMR library whispering 🤣🤣
Your pronunciation of Finnish words is awful when it’s so simple. The stress is always on the first syllable: so it’s HELsinki👌, not HelSINki😣.

Thanks so much Joey! They do take a long time - but they're so much fun to make ;) especially when people appreciate it like you!!
Awesome video, guys! I will be in Helsinki in July. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Yay so glad you found the video helpful! Enjoy your visit to Helsinki!!
I've become addicted to this channel. The teasers for the next episode don't help 🤣
Hehehe that’s great news!!! Glad you’re excited for the next vids :)
Very lovely video.
Will be visiting Helsinki in 2 weeks for a whole week.
Never been there and I´m from southern Sweden.
Thank you for this video.

That’s the best news! I’m so glad😁
Enjoyed your video. We were in Helsinki yesterday and loved it.
That's awesome - great to hear you had a good time! Thanks for watching!!
Bear is definitely not a finnish cuisine or local delicasy. Absolutely no-one in Finland eats bear, except tourists.
Delicious, but expensive and hard to find. I've ate bear pizza and bear stew in Lapland as a Finn, but very rare.
Hey, that depends on where in Finöand you live. It is just like seal. Don't be like that..
@@alepa2357 No it doesn't, and absolutely no-one eats seal either.
That's so true
Moose is actually quite common, especially in the countryside, because Finnish people hunt them. Bears are being hunted so little, so just few people can actually eat it.
Great video! Did you visit Oodi library in Helsinki? What a beauty it is!
Nooo we didn't get time to visit that one as well - it's on the list for next time ;)
@@chloeandludvig It's really awesome! Remember to visit in the summer, city and its people really come to life then!

The architect Carl Engel was a German :)
Engel was German, but he moved to Finland at the age of 38 and all his major works are in Finland.

Oodi is an another library maybe worth visiting. It's a new building with all kinds of stuff ranging from recording rooms to 3d-printers.
I've heard that's a great one too!
Ooh loved seeing Helsinki! Must admit I pulled some faces watching you eat bear and reindeer 😬 Can't wait to see your video on the ferry!!

I'm a Finn and I haven't tried dried reindeer meat. I guess it is very different than normal like beef jerky and regular beef is different.
Oh wow! We saw it everywhere in Helsinki and Santa’s village where we were prior 😮
@@chloeandludvig Next time you should try reindeer in a dish. Sautéed Reindeer, for example.

Reindeer is not one of my favourite food. The karjalan piirakka is good. You can have it any time of the day
Wow y'all rich travellers, wish I could afford to travel to expensive places like that...unfortunately not on an average NZ income :(
We actually save up and budget for trips like this - it’s definitely not always luxurious haha!
