About My Helsinki FI

A guide made by locals — for locals, newcomers, and curious visitors. My Helsinki FI exists to help you experience the city more meaningfully.

Our Story

What happens when locals, creatives, and community-lovers get tired of tourist traps? They build something better.

My Helsinki FI was born out of a simple idea: to create a city guide that reflects the real soul of Helsinki. Not just glossy brochures and top-ten lists — but lived experiences, honest tips, and places that locals actually love.

Whether you're a newcomer settling in, a visitor seeking more than just sights, or a longtime resident rediscovering hidden corners — we’re here to help you connect with the city on your terms.

Our team is small, diverse, and deeply rooted in Helsinki’s neighborhoods. From cultural curators to tram-riding grandmas, we gather real insight to help you live and explore with confidence and curiosity.

What We Do

We help you discover, connect, and feel at home in Helsinki — no matter where you’re starting from.

We curate local insights, event highlights, neighborhood tips, and practical services — all in one friendly and easy-to-use guide. Whether you're hunting for hidden cafés, exploring street festivals, or figuring out public transport, we’ve got you covered.

Think of My Helsinki FI as your digital local friend. The kind who’ll tell you which saunas are actually worth it, where the best cinnamon buns are hiding, and how to get from a snowstorm to sunset drinks — without stress.

No spam. No AI-generated lists. Just real places, real people, and real stories — organized so you can enjoy the city your way.

Why Helsinki?

Because this city is more than a destination — it’s a way of life.

Helsinki is where cozy cafés meet cutting-edge design, where the sea whispers between tram bells, and where nature and neighborhoods live side by side. It’s a capital that feels like a community — open, peaceful, and quietly bold.

We believe Helsinki is best explored through local eyes. Whether you’re wandering through its flea markets, saunas, museums, or forest trails, the joy here is found in everyday magic — and we’re here to help you find it.

From island adventures to street concerts, neighborhood gems to timeless traditions — Helsinki invites you to slow down, look closer, and live deeper.
