Walking distance from kauppatori, beautiful park spread over couple of small hills. 3 sides surrounded by sea. You can take bus 18 from centre. You can also go there by tram 3t and 3b.

I recommend Kaivopuisto at sunset, from up high. It's like being on top of the world.. or Finland at least. Beautiful scenery on a nice day.

Really nice park to have picnic. Rock concerts are also taken place here in summertime. Up from the cliff there are really beautiful sceneries.

A very nice neighborhood by the sea. Small shops, beautiful old houses. Parks, walks, nice routes for jogging and several nice cafes.

Kaivopuisto is a place for a walk or a jog in Helsinki. Or if you are in Helsinki on 1st of May, head there for a picnic with tens of thousands of others.

This park has a lovely little playground and a big rock to climb on for the kids. Nicely situated at the tip of Helsinki.
