Helsinki Packing List Tips by sabsi

Packing List

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Even in summer it can be quite cold so don't forget a jumper. But it can be reaaaally hot, too!

Photo Equipment: If you stay for a week or more - why don't you let your pictures get developed in Helsinki already. It's really cheap!!!! Go to 'Anttila', one of the bigger department stores that is everywhere, it was cheap and took me 3 days to get them back.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: In summernights there are mosquitos everywhere, especially at the water (apart from in the city!) -- But don't bring your mosquito spray! Buy some there, it's definitely stronger!

Miscellaneous: Take a dictionary. It will help you in restaurants when there is no English menu! Otherwise you might be quite lost!!! Or can you guess what Kuorrutettu kukkakaali or Häränhäntäkeitto is? ;-)
