Helsinki Local Customs: 154 reviews and 153 photos
One traditional occasion we have here in Helsinki every year is a Barfest, which means, participating pubs also offering us a free ride from pub to pub, so you can drink as much as you like and just jump to those buses for the next pub.
Your host will be inviting you to sauna sooner or later, man and woman usually goes in turns, but not necessary, between good friends it can be mixed too.
Good temperature is about 80°c. Some even turn it to 100°c. Be natural and relax, that's the meaning in having Sauna
Vappu
Vappu, which is on the 1st. of May, is a big festival in Finland and the students also celebrating their graduation.
*Thos Popeye caps are not a navy hats but old tradition in Finland (and Sweden) as graduation caps.
