Helsinki Airport
When flying with Finnair, most routes include a layover in Helsinki, Finland. Even if you aren't flying Business Class, you can still pay for access to their business class lounge for about HK$360 (you can grab a pass directly on the app, which is super convenient!).
This lounge offers incredible value for money! I've been there twice already. It features Nordic-style decor, and you'll inevitably spot some Moomins. The ambiance is elegant, and having storage lockers available is incredibly handy. The food quality is excellent—breakfast is served before 10:30 AM, followed by lunch and dinner at their respective times. And, of course, you can't miss Finnair's famous signature blueberry juice. There's also a super stylish bar, making it the perfect spot to kick back with a glass of wine 🍷.
The highlight is definitely the ultra-comfortable shower facilities. Freshening up with a great shower before a long-haul flight feels amazing. The seating is well-spaced to ensure plenty of privacy, making it the ultimate spot for some quiet rest.
[Location]: Terminal 2, Helsinki Airport
[Hours]: Daily 05:30-24:00
[How to Access]: Purchase via the app and use instantly, no reservations required
👍 Perfect for layovers, waiting, and relaxing—absolutely worth the HK$360!
Helsinki Airport
Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, the gateway to Finland, was far more comfortable than I imagined! ✨
It's not just a transit point; you could easily spend half a day here!
🏨 1. You can "really sleep" at the airport!? Amazing rest spots
The abundance of places to lie down is a godsend for families with children.
Especially these futuristic, shelter-like chairs!
Kids are thrilled, feeling like they're in a secret base, and adults can get a real nap. Long layovers are a breeze with this.
🎨 2. The entire airport is a photo spot! Full of Nordic design
Everywhere you take a picture is picturesque, but the Christmas shop is especially recommended 🎄
You can feel like Santa all year round, and you won't be able to stop choosing souvenirs!
💙 3. A mecca for Moomin lovers! Moomin Cafe & Shop
At the Moomin Shop, large Moomin and Snufkin figures welcome you! The Moomin Cafe is also filled with Moomin characters, which is exciting! "Is this really airport quality!?" I couldn't believe how cute it was, and my photo folder ended up filled with Moomin pictures (lol).
🥪 4. Plenty of great food! Enjoy the taste of Finland to the very end.
The display case was filled with Nordic-style salmon sandwiches and colorful berry sweets!
The prices are a bit high, but I recommend enjoying Finland to the fullest here at the end of your trip.
It was the best airport; waiting time at the airport turned from "pain" to "enjoyment"! 🇫🇮✈️

Temppeliaukio Church
Helsinki is a compact and easy-to-walk city! On this beautiful sunny day, we made full use of the tram to explore classic sights and enjoy delicious food. ✨
🚋 10:00 The Mysterious Rock Church
We took the tram to Temppeliaukio Church (Rock Church). It usually opens around 9am, but it wasn't open on the day we went! If you want to go inside, be sure to check the opening hours before you go!
🌳 11:00 The Park Behind the Church is an Unexpected Kid-Friendly Spot!
We visited the park right behind the church, and it was a paradise for children!
The sandbox was filled with shared toys, and the kids were overjoyed. We were able to let them play to their heart's content in between sightseeing. This was a pleasant surprise for a family trip!
🚶 12:00 The giant wooden cylinder that appears in the middle of the city: Kamppi Chapel
It's about a 10-minute walk from there to Kamppi Chapel. The unique shape of the wood is overwhelming.
Since we were with children, we didn't go inside. The exterior was so unique, we were very satisfied! 🤭
🐟 13:00 Old Market & Finnish Food at the Market!
We took the tram back towards the harbor. The retro atmosphere of the Old Market Hall is lovely, but we went to the nearby market (Market Square)!
The stalls were lined with fresh seafood and local specialties like salmon soup and Pyttipannu (sausage and potato stir-fry). The children's favorite was the deep-fried muikku (small fish)! Eating Finnish food under the blue sky was amazing!
After that, we rode the Skywheel, a Ferris wheel 🎡 It offers a panoramic view of Helsinki and is highly recommended.
📸 15:00 Helsinki Cathedral, Helsinki's Symbol
Finally, we went to Helsinki Cathedral, with its beautiful white walls and green dome.
The dome was under renovation, but its presence in Senate Square is picturesque from any angle. We got the perfect commemorative photo to end our trip!
Helsinki is a compact city packed with charm.
If you make good use of the tram, you can enjoy all of this in just one day! 🇫🇮💙 Definitely go!

I'm sharing my experience at the Autograph Collection Hotel U14 in Helsinki, which exceeded my expectations! ✨
🌿 Immersed in Sophisticated Scandinavian Design
The moment you step into the lobby, you're captivated by the refined interior. It has a playful touch reminiscent of the Moxy Kyoto Nijo, but with a more chic and tranquil adult atmosphere.
📺 Moomin in Bed & Blissful Breakfast
The TV in our room was showing the Finnish Moomin cartoon! The children were completely engrossed in it in bed.
And the breakfast quality was incredible. Freshly baked croissants, Scandinavian-style salmon, fresh fruit... it was pure bliss from the morning.
🛒 Superb Location for Sightseeing and Shopping!
The Old Market is just a short walk away. The market offers a wide variety of Finnish food and handicrafts!
Next to the hotel is the local supermarket, "S-MARKET"! This is a very convenient location for families with children, as you can buy souvenirs and other items there.
There's a plaza right next door, so kids who want to run around can head over there! 🏃😂
If you visit Helsinki, you should definitely stay here!
