5 Must-Know Tips Before Traveling to Helsinki

Romance is not dead, and it's essential to see the world with your loved one💞, friends, or besties. Get ready for a Nordic-style city walk; here's a Helsinki travel guide for you to share~ 🚶Attractions route - City center shopping - Uspenski Cathedral (Red Church⛪️) - Helsinki Cathedral (White Church) - Temppeliaukio Church - lv store - marimekko - Moomin merchandise shop 🚄Transportation: Right outside the airport, there are machines where you can buy tickets. I bought a 7days transport pass. You can find these machines where the subway or bus is available at the Helsinki airport, and they accept credit cards. 1⃣️Finnish people are not as cold as some say, even the elderly ladies are very warm and will greet you with a smile, so don't worry. 2⃣️You can visit each church to check in, representing their different cultures and histories. After visiting them all, you'll find they are not quite the same and require careful appreciation. 3⃣️I went with the intention of visiting Moomin Cafe, but it turns out that all three Moomin cafes listed on Google have closed down 😂. The cafes were there four years ago, but the Moomin merchandise shops are still open. There are two shops you can visit, and I ended up going to the Moomin cafe at airport gate 40, where the Moomin toys are super cute. 4️⃣💰Let's talk about the world's cheapest lv store and tax refund strategy: below 1200 euros you get a 13% refund, from 1200 to 5000 euros you get a 15% refund, and over 5000 euros you get a 17% refund. Getting a 17% refund is not easy; you can only buy three items unless you calculate the price of each item, which is also possible. 5️⃣⚠️Tax refund tip: Remember to process your tax refund before checking in your luggage, and note that the Moomin cafe at the airport closes at 5 pm.
