    I had a chance to visit Helsinki twice, first with my son and then with my brothers several years ago. Our grandparents on both side were born in Finland. In my first visit with my son I remember discovering Cafe Regata as we wandered around Helsinki one day. I walked the Espalanda (sp?) many times and having coffee at the restaurant at the end across from the band stand. I also remember the great view of Helsinki atop the tower at the Olympic Stadium. I have visited most the places in your video and many others, thank for the memories.

    Thank you, my last visit to Helsinki dates back a long time and I did not have time to visit.
    The city has changed, nice to see something other than places I already knew.
    Among the places I loved when I lived in Helsinki :
    - Ursula's Café for
    the giant cups of homemade ice cream,
    - the old K-market at Itä-keskus who don't exist anymore, it was demolished and replaced;
    - the markets and many Kauppahalli : Hakaniemi, Alko Vanha kauppahalli
    , Kauppatori,
    - Kaivopuisto.
    I am very gourmand.

    Loved the video. I got a change to visit Finland/Helsinki in 1917 and 1918, first with my son and then my brothers. Our grandparents on both side were born in Finland. I remember discovering the Cafe Regata with my son as we just wandered around Helsinki. We walked the Esplandi numerous times and had coffee in the restaurant at the end across from the bandstand and near the flea market. Of course another great view of Helsinki is from the Tower at the Olympic Stadium. Thanks for the memories…

I have been to a few of these before like senate square/ Helsinki cathedral and cafe Regatta and Sibelius monument (munummenti)! You have given me some ideas for this summer- yes we are coming back, home (Koti)! Maybe we’ll see you on the streets if we’re lucky!
