| Lahti | Sibeliustalo seating / tickets Posted: Fri November 6, 2009 03:35 PM UTC
I'm just planning a weekend trip to Lahti in March (and I'm very very excited about it too).
The purpose of this trip is to go see two concerts at the Sibelius Hall (and to sneakily listen to random people speaking Finnish - it ain't eavesdropping if I don't understand what they're saying!). Has anyone here been to the Sibelius Hall? The first concert is with the Lahti Sinfonia, and I would prefer to have a seat where I could actually SEE (as well as hear, obviously) properly. Are the 1st floor seats okay? Should I go for an upper level one? Any advice on this would be grand! The second concert is a metal one, so I'm not too concerned there. Chances are I won't use the seat anyway :-P Any and all input welcome, taaaa! |

Cheapest prepay mobile in Finland?
What is the best prepay card for a visitor to Finland staying 3 weeks? DNA, Saunalahti, Sonera, or something else??? I am interested in sending SMS (to Finnish mobiles) ONLY. No roaming, no international. Just cheap SMS, including countryside coverage. Which one do you have? Which company do you recommend (if it's prepay)? How much is the startpack? Thanks |

| Helsinki | Train from Helsinki up to Vainikkala Posted: Wed July 29, 2009 11:35 AM UTC
Does anyone know how to find the time schedule for trains running from Helsinki up to Vainikkala and/or Lappeenranta? I've checked the Finn Rail site but am only receiving errors when doing searches.
I'm also wondering about prices. Does it cost less to make a two-way reservation instead of just buying tickets at the time of departure? Thank you. |

| Helsinki | Two nights in Helsinki Posted: Tue July 7, 2009 09:43 AM UTC
Hello everyone. My wife and I (mid 40's Australian couple, active and fit) are going to be in Helsinki for two nights in late August and were after some advice on where to stay and must see things. We never thought that we would get the opportunity to visit Finland so we are very excited. We are both water people and would like to stay somewhere about $150USD range with water views if that is possible. Is there a last minute hotel guide that offers cheaper rates?
Is it a good idea to hire a pushbike and see a bit of the city that way ourselves or are better off joining a sightseeing tour? We would love to have a chat to some locals in a pub and learn a bit about the country. Is there any scheduled VT meetings around that time? Thanks in advance for your help. |

| Helsinki | Best "natural landscape" Route to take in Finland in summer? Posted: Mon June 8, 2009 09:59 AM UTC
Best "natural landscape" Route to take in Finland in summer?
I'm not sure if I should explore the interior of Finland on my trip to Scandanavia this summer. I know Finland is a flat country, and I'm a landscape photographer. I know there are lakes, and forests, but Finland distances are great, and my time in the country is limited to 3-4 weeks, and I want to know Helsinki well. My question is what can I expect to find If I go hitchiking, exploring the heart of Finland? What route should I take that will lead me back to Umeo, or Stockholm, Sweden (my next destination after Finland)? I've heard the archipelego around Turku is the nicest area of the country. I don't have time, resources to go all the way to Lapland, but I heard for example rt. 62 around Pumaala is the nicest area of the country for photography, nature, and untouched wildernesss. What do you think? |

| Helsinki | 12 hours in Helsinki---what shall I do? Posted: Sun June 7, 2009 11:36 PM UTC
I am using frequent flyer miles for my summer travel to Europe. The only day that I could leave Rome is July 28th at approximately 7pm. I arrive in Helsinki after midnight! While I have found some hostels with 24 hour reception, I am mainly concerned about getting there. Is there a bus, tram or train from the airport at that time of night??? I have tried looking at the airport's website and the time schedules are not clear to me.
Also, I will have some time to explore the city the following morning. Any must see suggestions? Help! Thanks in advance, Revlynn |

My daughter and I will be flying into Helsinki on 2 June and arrive at approximately 9am, our next flight does not leave until the mid-evening hours, so we hoped it might be possible to meet for lunch at a restaurant or cafe within reasonable distance from the airport. We are unfamiliar with the city, so any suggestions would be very welcome even if the member won't be able to attend. Anybody care to meet up?

| Helsinki | Memorials in Helsinki? Posted: Thu April 23, 2009 06:30 PM UTC
Hello all
I am visiting Helsinki in a few weeks and i was thinking about whether or not there might be some memorials to The Winter War of 1939-40 in Helsinki? Would it fair to assume there aren't any monuments or memorials to The Continuation War 1941-44? I understand there are a couple of museums worth visiting in the city which deal with these historical subjects but i'm interested in seeing memorials/monuments in or around Helsinki which deal with this sometimes sensitive subject. If anyone can advise i would be most grateful Regards to all! DG |

| Helsinki | Finnish or Russian train from Helsinki to St. Petersburg Posted: Tue April 21, 2009 03:10 AM UTC
The cost of Finnish train in comparison to bus is so much more expensive.
Aparently there is a Finnish train and a Russian train that leaves Helsinki to St. Petersburg. Is the Russian train less expensive and where is the site to purchase tickets? I would imagine the Russian train would have more culture. Does the train stop anywhere along the way and can one get off to take photos? Is English spoken and does one bring one's own food on board? What is the cost? Thanks Don Peterborough, Canada |

I haven't been able to obtain accurate information about trains from Petersburg to Helsinki. I will be going on June 24. Is departure from the Finland station or Ladozhsky?
It seems that there are no overnight trains, and trains leave at either 7:15 or 16:30 (not counting Tolstoy). How long is the trip? I have seen travel times ranging from 5 hours to 6.5. -Renaud New York |
