Musiikkitalo

Helsinki Music House lies just by the main railway station, locally better known as Rautatieasema. Music House or Musiikkitalo as it is called in Finnish is the concert hall built mainly for RSO Orchestra's and Sibelius Academy's needs. But there are more composers and conductors in Finland than just Janne 'Jean' Sibelius. Look at the picture with the magic wands of Finnish conductors of the 21st Century. Did you know the names already?

Circus came to town

Every year from about October up to November at Kaisaniemi park you will find the best Finnish circus in the whole Universe. Sirkus Finlandia.

Snapstadi, Kulttuurisauna

One might wish I would translate the subjects to English, but Finnish isn't really that hard, I mean Kulttuurisauna is what it says - A culture sauna. You'll find the contemporary architectural gem at the far end of Merihaka. This isn't the most common type of sauna found in Helsinki, but it is open for public Wednesday through Sunday from 4 pm to 9 pm. Last entry at 8 pm.

Snapstadi, Baana

Old freight train route was transferred into walking path and a bicycle passage. Over six hundred thousand users have already passed by, I checked the counter myself today.

Mustang

So, maybe I'm slipping a bit from the basic Helsinki theme here, but you really can't go wrong with a Mustang pic, now can you?
