An unofficial event usually held the last weekend of July or the first weekend of August since 1997. The participants (yup, mostly males in their 20s) gather in Vantaa with rubber boats, rafts or whatever they can find that floats and travel downstream towards the Vanhankaupunki rapids while indulging beer – of course without life vests. This event has no official arrangers that could be held responsible if something happens and the date of the event just spreads in social media. If you think watching the spectacle isn't enough, remember that you're doing it on your own risk!
Malmin lentokenttä
Located north of Malmi, the airport was the general aviation airport of Helsinki after the opening of Helsinki Airport. After two decades of planning, debates and protests, the airport was shut down entirely in 2021 after functioning as an uncontrolled airfield for a few years. The City of Helsinki will turn the area into a new residential district, though the functionalist terminal building will be preserved.
A look into the daily life on an 18th-century manor. Also hosts a restaurant and a riding school.
Alppiruusupuisto
Helsinki University's rhododendron research garden in the Haaga district is also a public park that you can visit around the year. Best time to for visiting are in early or mid-June when the rhododendrons bloom.
Kannelmäen kirkko
Finished in 1968 and looking like a copper pyramid with windows along the edges forming a cross. It's listed by the Finnish National Board of Antiquities as a "nationally remarkable built cultural environment".
Tapanilan kirkko
The 1957 church building designed by Per Björkvall, which is the oldest church in the entire Malmi parish.
Malmin hautausmaa
The biggest cemetery in the country by number of burials. Many Finnish cultural and political personalities are buried here. Other things worth seeing are the main chapel built in 1923 which is still used, as well as the cemetery's own water tower and railway station, both of which are disused.
