I'll be in Helsinki in a few weeks time for a couple of nights and wondered if any of you could recommend any nice hotels to stay in.
Also I'd love to hear of any tips for good cafés - especially if they have cinnamon buns.
Thanks!
I'll be looking for this café most definitely.
Mary, this first photo is just amazing!
ReplyDeleteI could stare at it for hours!!!!
Oh! Yes, what Eliabelle said -- just breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteAgree with above the first photo is stunning!
ReplyDeletethey are all so full of atmosphere.
ReplyDeletelove the last one too - they are having a little boy conspiracy going there, no? or is he telling them a story? or are they watching him sleep?
Sis Deli is indeed lovely. Also check out Café Bar 9: http://www.bar9.net. As for a place to stay, if you don't need a five-star hotel, I'd suggest contacting Maja Guesthouse (http://www.kolokoti.fi/maja.html) to see if they are currently open.
ReplyDeleteI the feeling of the top image.
ReplyDeletethere are such great moods in all of these images..love the first one..oh and Helsinki..I'd love to go one day, this café looks super nice

ReplyDeletedon't know any places in helsinki, but if you're interested in textiles, I bought the sweetest pillowcases there. the brand is called nanso i think.

That first picture reminds me of those old dutch paintings. Merveilleuse !
These photographs are so so divine, I love them !!!
ReplyDeletelovely shots...love how you capture the moment(s)...
ReplyDeleteAh. Helsinki. Cafe Carusel has been my Saturday morning hang out for a while now... the prices are a bit high but their chairs are so comfy and you get unlimited coffee or tea! Let's see, there is also Ekberg, everyone knows that one. Cafe Esplanad is cosy for rainy Sunday mornings. Cafe Fanny makes pretty good hot chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI could go on forever but really, Cafe Carusel has been my favourite for a while.
Hope you enjoy Helsinki!
