We visited this 127-year-old garden on 31 October. We were surprised the roses were still in full bloom in the Rose Garden in front of the Winter Garden. The autumn has been exceptionally warm. The garden is best known for its glass building that has three parts: a palm room, a cactus room, and a west wing. Here you can experience the greenery also during the winter months. The entrance is free.

Looking for a fun activity during a trip to Helsinki, I booked 4 tickets to watch HIFK (play ice hockey. Helsinki has 2 main ice hockey teams; HIFK who play in the Finnish leagues at the Ice Hall near the Olympic stadium and other sports arenas, and 'Jokerit' who seem to play in an inter-continental league made up largely of Russian teams, with home games at the Hartwall Arena just up the road. As our tour guide told us, Finland is one of, if not the only, country where ice hockey is more popular than football, and so going to a match was a great experience. Brilliant music, lights, dancing and some top quality ice hockey makes it a brilliant activity. Booking a week before through the website, there were not many tickets left, but I managed to get 4 together fairly high up in the stands for €25 each - a bargain in comparison to many other activities. In one end are the standing 'super-fan' areas - make sure you're wearing a jersey and are ready to sing and jump a lot if you get a ticket there! Merchandise (hats, jerseys etc etc.) is available in the foyer along with bars and snacks, and with the breaks during the thirds of the match you have plenty of time to refresh and meet some fellow fans. After that, there are a few bars and restaurants around on the way back into the city as the mass of fans made their way back into Helsinki.

This functionalistic-style stadium is located in the Töölö district about 2 kilometers from the city center. It is the largest stadium in Finland, nowadays mainly used for sports events and big concerts. The stadium is best known for the 1952 Summer Olympics. Originally, the stadium was completed in 1938 to host the 1940 Summer Olympics. However, they were canceled because of World War II. The stadium is now completely renovated. It reopened in August 2020 after 4 years of renovation. For the tower, you have to buy tickets beforehand. You can also visit the Sports Museum of Finland with an entrance fee.

Celebrating Finland's greatest composer, the Sibelius Monument in the Sibelius Park on the edge of Helsinki was designed and installed, after a competition, by Ella Hiltunen with 600 carved cylinders representing both organ pipes and silver birch trees, the national tree of Finland. For music lovers, this is an essential place to visit, even in the rain as on the day we were there.
