| Helsinki | Midsummer in Helsinki? Posted: Tue April 1, 2008 07:57 PM UTC
Hi there
We were planning to visit Helsinki on the weekend of 20 to 22 June, but we have just realised this would coincide with Midsummer. We were in Tallinn around Midsummer last year and it was quite a pain, as most shops and restaurants were closed. Would we have the same problem in Helsinki? Would it be smarter to move our visit to the weekend before (or after) Midsummer? Thank you all in advance. Eugene |

thanks, we'll probably postpone it to the next weekend then, even though it would be interesting to check out the celebrations on seurasaari island. still, I think we'll stick to our original plan of visiting porvoo.
thanks a lot.

It depends what was your plans for Helsinki, if it was shopping then it
is not good as the shops will be closed during the midsummer. If your plans are for relaxing, walking around the city, eating and some partying, some places will still be open, what I like in the midsummer here is that it is total peaceful and relax, so its has its benefits too. Provoo during the midsummer is probably total closed, so if that was your plan, better to visit another weekend.
