Here's a suggested late summer walk through the capital of Finland to make the most of your visit:
Morning
1. Start at Kauppatori (Market Square): Begin your day at Helsinki's iconic Market Square. Explore the market stalls filled with fresh produce, local crafts, and delicious Finnish street food. Grab a traditional salmon soup or Karelian pasty for breakfast.

Midday:
3. Return to the City Center: Head back to the city center and visit Senate Square (Senaatintori) to admire the neoclassical Helsinki Cathedral. It's a great place for photos and a leisurely stroll.

4. Lunch at Old Market Hall: Adjacent to Market Square, the Old Market Hall (Vanha Kauppahalli) is a food lover's paradise. Savor local delicacies, such as fresh seafood and Finnish cheeses, for lunch.

Late Afternoon:
8. Café Break: Pause for a coffee or tea break at one of the charming cafés in the Esplanadi area. Try a cinnamon bun or pulla to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Evening:
9. Dinner by the Water: Head to one of the waterfront restaurants or bars along the shore, like Hernesaaren Ranta or Löyly. Enjoy a delicious dinner while watching the sunset over the Baltic Sea.

10. Sauna Experience: If you haven't already, consider trying a traditional Finnish sauna experience. Many saunas in Helsinki offer late evening sessions, and it's a fantastic way to relax and unwind.

Late summer in Helsinki is a time when you can enjoy the best of both worlds—warm, pleasant days and the unique allure of a Nordic city as it transitions into the cozier fall season. Don't forget to check local event listings for any special festivals, concerts, or cultural events happening during your visit to make it even more memorable.
