The very heart of central Helsinki and a very evocative park it is. I live nearby and often pass through it on my way to the shops, or just walk down it when the weather is good. Very clean, well manicured, with lots of benches as well as frequent free musical exhibitions on the covered stage at one end.

At the southern tip of Helsinki, next to the embassy area, and only a short walk from the city center, you find this beautiful park. You get a great view of the islands and the sea, and there are many places where you can grab an icecream cone. Wait a minute, I’m thinking about the summer! The view is stunning also in the winter, but then you will be fighting against a wind that chills you to the bone. Be warned!

Pretty seclusive forest park close by to Espoo. Easy to reach by public transportation, for example, train+bus from Helsinki centre. You can be a part of the guided group, but you can make it also by yourself as the walking paths are marked well, and you don't need any special skills to make the journey. There are a couple of small lakes-ponds which you can investigate by the hiring a boat and also swim in the bigger lake Siikajärvi. In the summertime, you might have a chance to collect some forest berries, Nam! There are fewer people at working days.
