A church from the 1930s built of red tiles, one of the first landmarks one will see when driving into Helsinki from Lahti.
Only gay sauna in Finland.
Watch some of those tropical animals you wouldn't want to bite or sting you in the indoor terrarium Tropicario.
A cultural summer festival held in the bohemian district of Kallio not very far from the city centre. Held over a week in middle May. Various art galleries, workshops and street art performances. Culminates in a samba parade on Sunday, held by Império do Papagaio as their final practice before the main Samba Carnaval in the city centre.
A former power plant, nowadays a centre for alternative culture that hosts a circus and some exhibitions. The famous metal festival Tuska at the turn of June and July and electronic music festival Flow in August are held on the premises.
This is the last wood-burning public sauna in Helsinki. Separate saunas for men and women. There's a good chance you'll find a top level chess match in the dressing room. Don't miss cooling off outside, especially in winter. On Saturdays you'll find bachelor parties (Kotiharju is pretty near to Kallio's nightlife).
