Super nice forest walks close to the center. There's also a really neat river a bit further away closer to Espoo part.

Drinks & Nightlife

Down the road from my place, the local hang-out serves a wide selection of beers but also coffee and other things. They are the neighbourhood bar with board games and easy entrance. Worth the visit if you want a drink!

Getting Around

You can get a metro to the city center or go east-wards. There is also a stop for trams and bus. Search online for "reittiopas" to find public transport connections and more info. From other guests: Some guests recommend buying a 4 day card, with 2 zones so you could go even to Nuuksio park.

Some of the guests rented their bikes from here and were very happy with the service and the quality/price ration. If you rent a bike, make sure to lock it properly and leave it inside the courtyard!!

Essentials

Finns love going to sauna. Nowadays, common saunas in the city are rather rare, but here is one nearby. Note: they are places for relaxing and a good wash, nothing to do with the idea of sauna for sex partners, etc.
