Unfortunately I can not recommend any attractions, we only had time to stop at Petrozavodsk and visit a couple of cafes there (those were not very impressive). That was our second backpacking trip and we mostly enjoyed the beauty of the karelian nature. We climbed the mountain Vottovaara, and even spent one night on the top of it. Our trip lasted like 5 days, and we had our tent with us so we spent nothing on hotel, and the only food we had was either sublimates or snacks. I recommend it to...
Posted: October 26, 2025My overall experience made me want to come back again as I didn’t spend enough time in Helsinki.

I can walk in the night freely and nobody will worry me. I live in Pasila and here is a lot of strange people (drunk or drug) but they don't disturb other people. In general Helsinki is a safe place, include for women

Posted: March 24, 2026Compared to other cities in the world, Helsinki is a very safe city but there are of course some specific areas you should avoid at night, for example some places in east Helsinki. Overall you are safe here.

I'm an Italian woman. I'm a quiet and nice person who loves meeting new people especially from different countries and I also like to travel, discover new cultures and learn new languages. Especially I love Japan, it's culture and language and I hope to visit it soon. I also love cooking, baking, watching movies, tv series and figure skating.
