  • It is one of the characteristic places one must visit to have a walk among the trees and maybe relax on one of the benches there.

  • Beautiful park to explore as you're walking through central Helsinki. There's usually some event as well, in July there's daily Jazz musicians. Gorgeous scenery as well, and easy to walk off to many restaurants and bars.
  • Beautiful area I'm Helsinki. We visited during the Midsummer Eve holiday. I loved shopping in the open market. It is a beautiful area. Definitely check it out!
  • Esplanadi Park (or simply Espa) is an urban park in downtown Helsinki that is surrounded by the grand Esplanadi boulevard. It was build by architecture Carl Ludwig in 1826. Cafes, bistros, and upmarket boutiques dot the boulevard. The park is not as big as some of the other parks in Helsinki but it’s a great place to relax, have a couple of drinks, or just watch the world go by. When the weather is nice there are usually some live music events in the park.
  • best place to sit and relax, buy something and try some new food for cheaper price. Beautiful park in the center of Helsinki. Many small shops to buy many items and many artist there you can draw you pics in few minutes.
  • It’s a beautiful park in the city which surrounded by some retail shops, cafes.. Highly rated Kappeli restaurant also just around the corner but unfortunately it’s under renovation until May.
