Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    sauna here can be an amazing experience especially for a foreigner .Kaurila is surly as traditional as a wood-stove sauna summer house could be. The dim candle-lit sauna gives a smooth moist heat, and change room is rustic , so if you are in Helsinki do not miss it .

    I love this place with all the books and the service.
    Can’t understand why it always needs to be so warm inside though
    Cannot either understand why there are so few Swedish books. Swedish is after all the second official language of the country

    I looked online for a Helsinki craft coop and Okra came up. Have just come from Okra and it’s a must visit. Crafts from multiple outstanding Finnish artists. Easy to find at Senate square, across the street from Christmas market. Ceramics crafts lady from Lapland working in shop today, she is very personable and also helped with tax forms as I live in a nonEU country.

    As I walked various areas of Helsinki, that this company has branches closer to each other. I briefly visited the m and noted their beautiful products. I was tempted many times some of the products that I liked.

    Since I shall be travelling to several more countries after Finland, shopping and dragging a heavy suitcase is out of the question. So sorry Marimekko!

    Business is as usual in spite of the lack of foreign customers arriving by boat to the West Harbour next to this big electronics store. Especially huge televisions and home office equipment are selling well as people want to upgrade the comfort of their homes. As most purchases can be returned without cost there is a large outlet on top floor with four categories of reduced priced items.

    Every Finn has held a piece of Arabia tableware in hand at some point of their life. The factory took the historical name of the location when it was established already in 1874. Over the years the brand has stood for quality both in design and production remaining the obvious choice for a new home. Now the vintage pieces from 1950's to 1980's are so sought after that they are sold even in Arabia shops. The rich archives present endless material for new reproductions as well.

    ヘルシンキ市内でククサを探しましたが、良いお土産はありませんでした。 ついにこの店を見つけました。 実際、マーケットスクエアには屋台とお店があり、そのお店では最高級のククサも販売されています。 とても質が良く、私が探していたものです。嬉しくて3個買いました。おそらくヘルシンキで最高のククサショップでしょう。
    In Helsinki, we searched for kukusa, but we didn't have any good souvenirs. Finally found this store. In fact, Market Square has stalls and shops that sell the finest kukusa. I bought three. Probably the best Kukusa shop in Helsinki.

    If you are looking for a rare book, if you want to buy a book for a fair price or if you just want to have a great time, this book shop is definitely worth visiting! Even if you don't find the book you are looking for you won't be disappointed:)

    The business started small in Posio in 1971 by making round, easily hand fitting earhware cups and has now grown to cater for all aspects of home decoration. The pottery turned into a factory which still operates in Lapland, everything is designed in Finland but the furnishing items are produced abroad. The bright yellow print with colorfull brush strokes made after a painting by artist Paula Suominen stands out in the new Spring collection.

    The flagship store has been enlarged and occupies now also the front corner of North Esplanade facing the park. The past year has been rather good for the iconic Finnish company unlike other textile manufacturers. Our mostly female cabinet ministers have been a constant sight in their colourfull, loose fitting Marimekko dresses on the evening news.

    Love for Finnish cotton prints has largely influenced the existence of this vintage shop in Kannelmäki suburb. The best known label Marimekko is well represented also from the early years at Muija, which has even taken its name from one of their prints. The fabrics, mainly curtains all well washed and ironed have been organized in rows by designer as Ishimoto, Isola or by the type of print. Vintage designs from Tampella and Finlayson are also sold here, as well as Marjatta Metsovaara, even in new quality reproductions. A huge selection of tableware, glass, ceramics mainly from 1950's to 1980's fills the new larger premises by Kannelmäki local train station, easily reached from central Helsinki.

    What a nice little tea house in the heart of Helsinki. You can hop in to purchase tea accesories or stay for a warm cup and some sweets 😊

    As a knife novice I was given excellent advice from to lovely girl in this Töölö shop. The complimentary knife sharpening lesson was gratefully received. The knife I eventually purchased has been perfect. Many thanks for a superb shopping experience and for the knowledgeable, patient and wonderful staff.

    The store is located on the first floor of the Forum centre. It has a lovely selection of Moomin merchandise. They had toys, key rings, home ware and clothes to name a few. At the front there was a selection of young children's clothing that was on sale and some other items in store had orange reduction labels. If you plan on buying clothes then remember that these will be listed in European sizes. By the children's clothes and socks there was a conversion chart which was quite helpful. As someone who likes Moomins it was a great place to buy a souvenir on my trip. Also the people behind the till were very friendly and helpful.
