Freeze coffee pop-up

Want to try some really good coffee? And have it prepared by someone that really knows how to make it good? Well, then you still have a few days left to check out the Freeze Coffee Pop-up in Forum.

Right next to the entrance at Mannerheimintie you find the small cafe that serves some really good cappucinos, lattes, espressos and also some amazing filter coffee. 

The pop-up is still open until Sunday. And if you are really fast you will even get a half prized coffee there. The first 10 people that come to Freeze and mention HelsinkiIn get their coffee for a 50% discount. 

And if you want to know more on how to make really good coffee at home check out their youtube channel. There you get some useful tips.

Crazy Weekend at Stockmann

The Hullut Päivät are going on at Stockmann again. And you still have today and tomorrow (both days until 18:00) to get some pretty good deals.

And since today and tomorrow will probably be the most crowded days at Stockmann you might want to check the special offers in advance online.

Good luck and have a nice weekend!

Early bird haircuts

Need a cheap haircut? That used to be impossible to find in Helsinki until a little while ago. Now competition is getting stronger and more and more hairdressers start offering special prices.

One of them is HairStore at Kamppi Kaupakeskus. Here the price depends on when you get there. A haircut can be as cheap as 9,90€ for men and 19,90€ for women. For that price you have to be there between 8.00 and 9.00 in the morning though. Every hour the price goes up 2 € until it goes back to the usual price at 15.00.

So if you have time in the morning, drop by!

Make a bargain at Kamppi

The Kampituspäivät have started. And that means lots of special deals in all shops at Kamppi Kaupakeskus. The variety of offers ranges from meal and snack deals, over cloths to event vouchers.

Have a look yourself on the Kamppi website. The Kampituspäivät will continue until Sunday.

45 restaurants for 10 €

How about going out for dinner this weekend? It would be the perfect timing since today Syö Helsinki starts again. For the next two weeks 45 restaurants throughout the city offer selected main dishes for just 10 €. 

This is always a great way to get to know some new restaurants you haven't visited so far. All offers can be found on the Syö Helsinki website.

Enjoy and have a great start into the weekend.

Early Crazy Days

Stockmann's Hullut Päivät (Crazy Days) start again. From tomorrow until Sunday there will be lots of great deals again. If you are planning on getting something there, check out their offers beforehand online and arrive early. Some things might be sold out in no time. And keep in mind that this time Stockmann opens its doors at 7:00 already.

If you want to avoid the huge crowds of Stockmann at Aleksanterinkatu in the city center, consider to rather visit some of the smaller Stockmann stores around Helsinki. They have the same offers and are much more quiet. You find a list of them on their website.

Happy Crazy Days!

You find the catalog with all offers online.

Super Sunday at Stone's

Sunday is normally not really the day to go out. That is why Stone's in Keskuskatu started the Super Sunday. Every Sunday starting from 20.00 selected beers and ciders (all 0.5l and not just the standard stuff but really good micro brewery products) as well as three different shots are just 4 Euros for the rest of the night. On Sundays they close at midnight.

That's a pretty good offer for the center of Helsinki. So if you don't have any plans for tonight maybe give it a try. They also have really good burgers.

A toast to the weekend

Would you like to welcome the weekend with a sparkling glass of cava? Then come to Casa Largo in the Sokos building right in the city center. They have a special offer of just 3,50 € per glass. And that not just for Friday but every day of the week.

A day in Tallinn

Just 80 kilometers is the distance between Helsinki and the Estonian capital Tallinn. Several boats operate daily between the two cities. This gives a wonderful opportunity for a day or weekend trip.

If you think about a short trip to the beautiful medieval Tallinn you should take a look at the website of Eckerö Line. They offer cheap daytrips with MS Finlandia for only 29 Euros at the moment. The ferry needs 2.5 hours for the ride from Länsisatama to the harbor of Tallinn. There you have five hours to visit the city before the ferry leave back to Helsinki again. If you plan on staying longer check out their very reasonable hotel packages (including the ferry trip).

If you want to travel a bit faster and would like to have more options when to go and when to return you should also take a look at Linda Line, Tallink and Viking Line. They are all a bit more expensive than Eckerö normally.

Royal Bubbles Wednesday

Treat yourself with a bubbly glass of sparkling wine after a hard day of work today. Today is the perfect day for it. From now on every Wednesday is Royal Bubbles day at all HOK-Elanto (S-Group) restaurants, pubs and bars. From 16:00 till 18:00 you get 12cl of sparkling wine for just 1.50 €.

All HOK Elanto places are listed on their website. You can also easily spot them as the places offering discounts with the green S-Card.

Enjoy a sparkling afternoon!
