This traditional smoke sauna is located in Vantaa but very easy to reach from Helsinki Railway Station. Situated besides a beautiful lake, it's widely regarded as one of the best traditional saunas in the capital region. Rebuilt in 2011. Take your swim gear with you, as the smoke sauna is mixed-sex.

Sottungsby
It's hard to call this farmland-dominated area at the eastern edge of Vantaa a "city district". In the summer it's a pleasant area for biking along the unpaved roads between the fields where sheep and cows graze. It also has multiple access points to the national park. Paths allow access to a lake, a small camping place and scenic cliff walks in the national park.
