visit Helsinki

[mallorqueta]

hello friends I'm from Mallorca, Spain, next weekend will visit Helsinki a few days, I would be grateful if someone could recommend places to visit and we can do in the city.

I guess to get some ganja in Helsinki will be very difficult, but if you know any way that I appreciate the comment.

Hey, had to edit your post a bit. Sorry about that, but it broke the rules of ICmag.

I would recommend visiting Suomenlinna. Nice place on a sunny day for a picnic or beer drinking. Or just a fun day with the family, soaking in some history..

Most of the stuff on the street o Helsinki is not worth the money. Especially the hash, at least check the shit out before you buy.

Have a good one!

Easiest place to score weed is Kallio area, close to central helsinki.
The hash is not worth it, dont touch it. Weed might be but its pretty expensive, something around 20e/gram in street deals. Try to get lucky and have fun!

I don't know if this is still valid info, since I've not lived in Helsinki for a few years, but at least then you could pretty easily score grass and hash (mostly pretty low quality & high price though) from reggae bar 'Exodus' in Kaarlenkatu 10, Kallio. There are some other bars too (for example, Om'pu, Siltasaarenkatu 15) that hippies / stoners frequent in Kallio, and people are likely to be friendly & ready to smoke you out if they have any.

Suomenlinna is definetely worth a visit, IMO the best spot in Helsinki if not in all of Finland. Pick a nice sunny day and bring a few beers. If you like beaches, check out Hietaniemi as it is pretty much the best beach in town. Somewhere around there is, or at least used to be back in the day, a big flea market on summer sundays. Many famous finns are buried in Hietaniemi cemetary just across the street from the beach.

I'd also recommend to ride the subway lines from centrum to Vuosaari and Mellunmäki to see the town, it's only one line that splits in two for last three stops after Itäkeskus (pretty big shopping center, worth seeing if that's your thing) and ride from centrum to eastern end is only maybe 20min.

If you like rock / metal music, check out Tavastia club (THE most famous rock club in Finland) and Nosturi for gigs.

Also, check out headshops in Helsinki - at least Valoverstas sells nice glass pipes by Martikainen, hand made finnish design that can't be found anywhere outside the country. Beautiful, rare and excellent to smoke.
