Easter in Helsinki

The long Easter weekend has started. And there is lots to do in the city. Traditionally the weekend starts with the Via Crucis. Tonight at 21:30 the crucification will is reenacted with the Walk of the Cross from Kaisaniemi Park to Senaatintori.

And if you have time, drop by at the Helsinki Zoo as well. During the weekend it turns into an Easter island with a special program.  

Also good to know: This year many supermarkets stay open throughout the whole Easter time due to the new legislation on opening time. 

Have a wonderful Easter time!

    Helsinki sounds like a fantastic place to spend Easter, especially with the Via Crucis and the special events at the zoo. I've been spending my evenings lately unwinding with a game called Tiny Fishing. There's something so satisfying about upgrading your gear and finally snagging one of those rare, elusive fish - it's my perfect chill-out activity. It sounds like you're in for a wonderful weekend. Are there any other unique local traditions in Helsinki during Easter beyond the Via Crucis that you'd recommend checking out?
