Overview
I live in Helsinki for 9 years, starting from my master's degree to my doctoral studies. I know the history of many popular tourist attractions in Helsinki and fun facts and daily life of Finland. Beyond the usual tourist spots, there are so many incredible, overlooked places waiting to be discovered.
There are two parts of this trip. First, I will take you to walk through many worth-visiting tourist attractions and explaining their history and development. Along the way, I will introduce some great places for you to hang out, like bars, restaurants, and museums.
Second, I will take you to some incredible, overlooked places that casual visitors rarely see, such as underground shelters, a Presidential Guard of Honour, a place offering a panaromic view of Helsinki and archipelago, and old market for tradictional Finnish food.
I will share a nice and free sauna place in downtown to you if you are on a budget!
You will also receive my recommendation via email about food and places in Helsinki and how to plan 1-4 day trips in other cities close to Helsinki, like Lohja, archipelago regions, and Porvoo. Also, some amazing Asian restaurants.
I can speak English & Chinese fluently.
