Join us on our Helsinki adventure as we uncover the hidden gems and highlights of Finland's vibrant capital city. Known for its exceptional design scene, we delve into Helsinki's creative side with a couple of recommendations made by a local designer.
First up, we're irresistibly drawn to a renowned donut shop that not only boasts amazing donuts but also caters to vegans. Next, we make our way to the Design Museum, where we discover the fascinating world of Finnish industrial arts. From iconic designs to an exhibit on the globally popular Angry Birds game, this museum showcases thoughtfully crafted creations.
With the Design Museum leaving a lasting impression, we recommend a visit to their exceptional gift store. They offer unique finds, such as a cleverly designed foldable shopping bag that fits conveniently into a pocket. We also recommend exploring the adjacent Museum of Finnish Architecture, which takes us on a journey through the country's architectural evolution -- this museum offers a fascinating insight into Finland's architectural heritage.
We step off of the traditional tourist path and head to a local gin distillery. Finland's gin culture is thriving. We indulge in some of their crafted spirits and cocktails. For a memorable dining experience, we visit Boon Nam, a modern Thai restaurant highlighted in the Michelin guide. The tantalizing aromas alone will entice you as you enter. Boon Nam delighted our taste buds with dishes like Iberico secret of five-spice pork, crispy enoki mushroom salad, chili jam sweetheart cabbage, and coconut cheesecake.
Helsinki's compact and walkable ways allowed us to stroll its wide, inviting sidewalks, side by side. The city's vibrant and green ambiance exudes contagious happiness, leaving us eager to return and explore more of its wonders.
Don't miss this lively exploration of Helsinki's design, gastronomy, and cultural offerings. Join us on this journey and immerse yourself in the enchanting spirit of Finland's capital city.
