Naapurustot
A cosy little area on a hill right in the middle of Kallio, with old, colourful, unique houses. Small parks scattered around the area, great for strolling or enjoying some quiet time in the park.

Puu-vallila is a lovely, picturesque area full of old wooden houses. You'll find a park and a couple of nice cafés there too. Walking distance from my apartment.

Sauna
A truly traditional, proper wood-fired sauna. They have spare floors for men and women, both of them with huge saunas, authentic from the 1920's. Between löyly sessions you can buy a cheep beer to have outside on the street, chatting with the other sauna-goes. In the winter you might even have a roll in the snow! They also have a fridge for bringing your own drinks. Highly recommended!

Trams and the metro are the best ways to get around
Tickets to local transport cannot be bought in the vehicles, so I highly recommend downloading the HSL ticket app. https://www.hsl.fi/en
