Drinks & Nightlife
My favourite beer bar for a drink or two, just around the corner from the flat. Solmu is Solmu brewery's bar with their own produce and other goodies on tap.

Parks & Nature
Mustikkamaa island is a 15 min walk away and has a little sandy beach and nice smooth cliffs around the island for hangs and picnics in the summer. It also has a popular jogging path that goes around the island, plus there is an action park called Korkee in there as well!

Everything Else
The no. 1 urban sauna in the world! Sompasauna is free for everyone and you'll be sure to meet open-minded Finns out there. Please note there are no showers - a dip in the sea is the only option for washing out the sauna sweat. :)
