Top Services for Active Leisure & Sport in Helsinki

I suggest going during the weekday afternoons, like around 2 pm, when it’s less crowded. I went on a Saturday and it was tough to find a good spot to relax.

If you’re planning to chill by the sauna, try to bring a book... I thought I'd just relax in silence, but the wait time was longer than expected!

I recommend checking the entry fee beforehand. I thought it was going to be higher but found out they have discounts on certain days, which helped me save a few euros!

My advice is to bring your own toiletries and a towel. The ones they provide are okay, but using your own makes things much more pleasant!

I recommend getting your ski pass online before you arrive. It saved me a ton of time in line, and you can sometimes grab discounted rates if you book ahead.

I think renting gear can get pricey, so if you're a frequent snowboarder or skier, invest in your own equipment. It’s worth it in the long run and often cheaper in the end.

My advice is to check the weather before heading out. We went on a day with poor visibility, which cut our fun short. A sunny day makes all the difference!

I recommend booking your boat in advance, especially during the summer months. It gets super busy, and you might miss out on a good boat if you just show up. I wish I had done this to avoid the wait.

I think the sunset views from the boats are to die for, so if you can, plan your trip around 7 PM. Just bring snacks and drinks to save money on food, cause everything around is pricey.
