Helsinki Travel Tips
Helsinki travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • You have to visit Suomenlinna!! • Evi G.
  • Ladies! When on the streets at night, please be with a group. There are no real dangers, but lots of drunken men, so keep a watchful eye out for them! • Sam G.
  • If you're looking for a decent and not-too-expensive hostel, I can recommend the Stadium Hostel, which is located in the Olympic Stadium (across the road where the Opera House is located). It's not too expensive, the rooms are nice and clean and security is good. • Talitha B.
