What is your first stop in a new city? For me, it's always the food tour! If there is no tour available, then food halls and supermarkets are an excellent backup plan. @nationalgeographic.bsky.social have down the hard work and tracked down some not to be missed market halls 👏

Let me know your breakfast philosophy in the comments below 👇
Very interested to know your thoughts on this extremely important topic. After all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day 😋

I'm a little conflicted on this: when I travel in Finland 🇫🇮 I always take the hotel breakfast; yet when I travel abroad 🌐 I share my dollars / euros and always search the local neighbourhood for something tasty.

Food for thought! The hotel breakfast is a hot topic today. Should it be included in the room rate or should breakfast become an extra item 🤔?

Pond hockey & presidents?! What's the connection? Listen in as our resident hockey expert Carmen, spills the beans 🏒

Entering and departing the alcoholic beverage section 👍

The porridge queue...
10 more minutes to wait 🤭

Time to toss some tags into the mix #winterinHelsinki #publictransport #wedontdosnowdays ❄️😊

Good morning Helsinki ❄️
A favourite view walking towards the metro station 😊

Cash is not king in Finland, and if you are able, I highly recommend getting a card that you can load up with your Euros. Tap-to-pay works pretty much everywhere. Peace of mind almost guaranteed. Just be aware of strangers grabbing your attention out of nowhere.
Stay safe out there 😊

🚨Public Service Announcement🚨
Helsinki is a big city (well, you know what I mean), and like all big cities, you need to be aware of your surroundings.
Pickpockets especially are on the move in and around the main tourist spots. They are organised and target groups. 1/2

It used to be that Mondays in Helsinki meant no museums. Fortunately #AmosRex put that habit out to pasture by being the only museum open on Mondays (and yes, they close on Tuesday).
A favourite place, as much for the structure itself as the exhibitions.
Always provoking both thoughts and senses 🥰

and yes, you can try these on both the #ForkinHand and #TastesofHelsinki outings 👍

A regular on my breakfast table 😋 This is what a naked rice pie looks like 🤭

✅️ Enjoy warm (popping them in the toaster works well)
✅️ top with 🥚🧈 (boiled eggs & butter mashed together 👍)
✅️ any savoury topping works well
✅️ not only breakfast, anytime works 😋

Now the app is mobile and that means pictures!

I'll be sharing some happy 📷 later in the week #myhelsinki

Have to say, the bigger they've become the harder it seems to be for small / single operators. It was the best business decision I made though. Stick with it 👍

Finnish dream home. Hands down 🤩

Just arrived, my other side will be here soon also 🫢🫣

Good morning 🌐! I'm in the process of revamping my socials and have decided that there is no better time to join the butterfly than now. So, here I am 😍
I'll be posting about #finnishfood #helsinki and what ever else grabs my attention 👍
