J3FF3R00 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) Hey. I'm going to Helsinki Finland for work in a month. It's likely I'll be too busy to really see anything or explore. I'll only be there for a few days and I'll be very busy. Anyway, having said that, if any of you have travel tips, recommendations of food to eat, places/things to try and see in Helsinki, bars, restaurants, souvenirs, t-shirts or unique things to buy, I'd appreciate a pointer or two. Many thanks ;) I'll also be in London for a couple days. Not sure exactly where yet. I was there once before. It's doubtful I'll have time to do anything there other than work and suss out some proper fish and chips / Indian food. I'd take recommendations on that, as well. I had some of the best fish and chips I've ever had at The Glassblower in Piccadilly about 10 years ago. I might go back there.

zkom Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Kaisla has a pretty good selection of beers in the center of Helsinki. If you want an over-the-top kitschy campy Finland experience visit Zetor, lol.

Guest Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 been a while.. if you feel like taking a ay off from hard work... i thought the EMMA museum was pretty nice: http://www.emma.museum/en (it's a bit out of town though) there's also Kiasma for more contemporary stuff: http://www.kiasma.fi/calendar Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/79958-things-to-do-in-finland-with-not-much-time-or-london/#findComment-2043618 Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3FF3R00 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Bump. I only have a few more days before I go. I'll literally only have a few hours free (at best) in Helsinki & London. What is there to do that wouldn't take a full day? Any pointers???

MadameChaos Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 If you're in London go to the Aquarium. Don't look at the penguin bit though, it's quite horrific. Actually don't go.

OneToThirtySix Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Go into any bar and ask why it's so great to be Finnish.

Guest Pennywise Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Queue for Madame Tussads for an hour then right when you get to the ticket stall ,leave. Then you can say you've experienced a London queue. London queues are the best queues in the world and that's a proven fact literally proved by no one.
