One of the loveliest spots to visit in the summer. An idyllic outside cafe by the Töölö bay has probably one of the best views you can get around these hoods. A nice pit stop also for joggers ;-)
Spending two hours enjoying upstairs' wooden sauna and steam room is a perfect way to pamper yourself on Sunday afternoons. Don't forget to try the delicious ice tea!
