Holiday rentals in Helsinki, Finland

Helsinki is a great place to party, offering a wide variety of entertainment, from pub to clubs and live music venues. To find many of these, you can head to the Vironniemi neighbourhood. Here you’ll find places like On The Rocks, Shot Bar and one the most popular nightspots in the city, Wallis’ Skatta Karaoke Bar. Other party neighbourhoods are Kamppi and the central area, where you can dance the night away at Ravintola Teatteri, arguably one of the most popular and famous nightclubs in Helsinki. Baarikärpänen is another exciting club, which has a younger vibe and is a favourite student hangout. Good Helsinki holiday rentals where you can stay in these neighbourhoods include Forenom Serviced Apartments Helsinki Lapinlahdenkatu and 2ndhomes Lapinlahdenkatu in Kamppi.

There’s also a lot to do with children if visiting Helsinki with your family. Seusaari Island and Open-Air Museum is great for sightseeing and picnicking, as is The Esplanadi Park. You can also take the kids to the local zoo, Korkeasaaren Elaintarha, or Linnanmaki Amusement Park for rollercoaster rides and other funfair rides and activities. The kids will also love the magical winter wonderland exhibitions at Unique Lapland Helsinki Winter World. To get a panoramic view of the city and out over the Baltic, you can go for a ride on the SkyWheel Helsinki, which is similar to the London Eye. Some recommended holiday rentals in Helsinki for families are Hiisi Homes Vantaa Kaivoksela and Flemari Downtown Be My Guest. For a unique and unforgettable Finnish experience you can book at Igluhut Sleeping With Reindeer, where you’ll stay in traditional Lapland accommodation in a private rural setting.

Staying in a holiday rental is generally a more cost-effective way of holidaying abroad. You’ll be able to choose a small guest house, B&B, or apartment that suits your exact needs, rather than simply taking a generic room in a large hotel. You’ll often have more room, with a private garden and exclusive use of the establishment’s facilities. If you choose self-catering accommodation you’ll have even more of a home-away-from-home experience. Good places to shop for fresh local produce and unique Finnish delicacies are The Old Market Hall and Hakaniemi Market. There’s also Hietalahti Market Square that offers farm produce and a flea market, as well as ingredients for local dishes that you can try your hand at. If you pick a small family-run guest house there’s also a good chance that your meals will be prepared in the kitchen and served straight to the dining table. This is as close as you can get to experiencing an authentic slice of life in Helsinki, and to sample local dishes that you would have to otherwise seek out in the city’s restaurants at higher prices.
