Loved this video man! Just checked my streams and noticed Helsinki was my top city I’m streaming in. Never heard of it but after looking into for so long I’m loving it! Hope you’re enjoying the trip bro!
Great video, I'm from Finland myself and I went to Helsinki for the first time few days ago. It felt like you would be in another country because the city was so much bigger than where i live and there were so much tourists, it kinda surprised me :D. I enjoyed my time there and definetly wanna go back there someday!
Thanks! And wow, great timing then! Haha I can imagine that it must be incredible to see all those people if you come from a small place. I've been to some other places in Finland, like Oulu and Rovaniemi. Do you come from a smaller town than those?
That is such a cool video. I went to Helsinki back in 2012. I remember I was jetlagged so I woke up way early in the morning and tour the city, all the places that you show in the video. But it was at seven in the morning and nobody was around. Was quite peaceful. Watching the video remind me of my visit. Good history info
Thanks! And wow that sounds great! I love seeing cities like that before they wake up. It was pretty empty when I was up around 8 as well - but then all the crowds woke up later!
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Thank you so much! And it was really nice. But I think that it's best in summer - so I wouldn't really visit Helsinki at this time of year or in winter :D
@05:10 For other foodies out there who might visit Helsinki, this is in Vanha Kauppahalli and the Karjalan Piirakka is most likely from a shop called Scandinavia Cafe.
Yo Vagabond, thanks for the upload. I’m travelling to Helsinki tomorrow so once again some great info and advice to take on board. I’m planning a trip up the Olympic Tower for the view. Think I’ll give the reindeer sandwiches a wide berth though. Cheers! 👍
That sounds awesome, and really happy if I could help a little bit :D Haha, I like reindeer! It's actually pretty good, but I make a stew of it instead. And oh, I completely missed the Olympic Tower... I would have liked to go there too!
Really enjoying the city. The prices aren’t that cool though. 👎🏻😂. Just thought I’d tell you I loved the Riisipiirakka. I’m a convert. Thanks Vagabond. 👍🏻
@@Redrooster0007 Damn, I am SO happy to hear that! Haha, those are really my kryptonite or something. I do anything for riisipiirakka! But yes... Yes... Prices were steep earlier, but now I imagine that inflation is making everything nigh unbearable...
Awesome! I’m actually in Helsinki right now. Well, kinda. The ferry left port, going back to Stockholm, one minute after I started watching your video. 🙂🚢
@@jess_smwhere Thanks for solving the mystery! But yeah, that part of the mystery remains - do they know that it's a pun? Or are they just serving a normal bun!
That actually sounds really interesting! Thanks, I'm going to make a note of that... I'm already thinking of visiting Charleroi, the ugliest town in Europe, so...
I was born in Helsinki, too. This city looked quite different in my youth. There were then in the leading positions people who believed that the less nice things on Earth means a better future in heaven;). Nowadays every time I am visiting this city of mine I feel a bang of great affectíon...my Helsinki;)
