As a citizen of Helsinki I can say this is one of the best Helsinki videos I've seen. Thank you for visiting us! It's a bit different now when it's 27°C (80, 6°F) and only sunshine days on end.

This is the first time I saw a travel video going to this much details on the full experience, including smells, sounds, thermal sensations, etc. Keep up the quality work.

Awesome video, pal! Loved your narrative. It’s so informative and helpful for any person. I will be visiting the city at the beginning of July. You got a new subscriber!

[doughezlep]

I first came across your vlog yesterday with your Oslo episode. So, I have decided to stay in the "neighborhood" so to speak with the Helsinki vlog. Keep up the good work!

[AkiraAmatsuji]

i really like your scents and sounds format

[MIA_DaDe]

Love your channel and your detailed ( all senses perspective) on the cities you’ve visited. I’ve been to a few that you’ve posted videos about and I’m kicking myself wishing I’d seen your videos prior to my travels. lol fortunately I’m going to Helsinki this fall so thanks for the preview!

I am currently exploring Helsinki. Nice video

The round architecture at 17:29 is actually a beautiful chapel where you can go and find some peace and calm before rushing home after work. People pop in for a few minutes (it is a Christian chapel, but really meant for everyone).

Came across this channel today and it has made up my day! I have never seen scents and sounds described like that on a vlog! Keep up the good work! It is a truly immersive experience! Can't wait to visit Helsinki and Talinn in 2025 😊

Thank you for appreciating Helsinki during the cold days! ❤ This is definitely one of the best videos of our home town. During the summer you would have experienced the intense smell of trees, grass and flowers while sensing the warm breeze on your face as you are cycling through the city at midnight witnessing a beautiful twilight near sunset and listening to the birds' nocturnal concerto.

Lonkero was actually developed for the Helsinki Olympics in 1952 by Hartwall. It seems that now other companies can make it as well in a variety of flavours. There is also the non-alcoholic version.

@14:25 Sorry but there's no Castle Of Finland in Suomenlinna. There's no Castle Of Finland at all. No castles in Helsinki. The most well known castles in Finland are Turun linna, Olavinlinna, Hämeen linna and Kastelhoms slott.

A great video!
Just a tiny point: Aleksanterinkatu is neither the main nor the longest street in Helsinki.
PS. Why do you think that the sound of the city is what you find in the city centre? That is just a tiny bit of it.
