All man (women and men) should visit the Ladies toilet in the Hotel Torni! Never mind this is the place where the Russians and other winners of the 2nd world war had their stations during peace negotiations in Helsinki, but the Ladies toilet has the best view over Helsinki, and not only of the toilets in Helsinki but as other facilities as well! YES. Just do it! Wait for your turn, and never mind it says "Ladies". :) Yes, you can also have a drink up there in the bar and eat well in the restaurant downstairs. ,)

Arts & Culture

The contemporary museum of art Kiasma has a flow. The building itself is too compelling, so you need to visit it twice: first to absorb the constructions and then the show. This means, the first time you go there, the art show will always be second of the place itself.

If you don't get a laugh anywhere else, go to the amusement park. The roller coaster is pretty old and wooden, and we just love it! The place has also a large aquarium and on summer time shows at the outdoor stage. Usually crowded at nice weather.
