Welcome to Finland. Lidl is a German chain, so you'll find German, Middle European and Finnish goods there. The weather forecast promises great weather for the Midsummer Festival this weekend. Don't freak out when the people disappear from Helsinki to the summer cabins.

Tip for overweight luggage, get a box.. wrap it and post it back to yourself via national postal couriers..it will arrive a day or two after you will and will cost 1/3rd of the price and avoids the stress and hassle of carrying it.. just make sure someone has to sign for it to guarantee delivery..

[@Rattock]

I can recommend this, me and missus shipped our dirty laundy and extra clothes just to fit extra souvenirs from our honeymoon to Scotland.

[@Naesil89]

Well sending stuff outside of EU from Finland will probably cost way over 100 euros even for relatively small box :D so paying the overweight fee might actually be cheaper. Ofc if you have massive amount of stuff then its just easier to post it.

[@Kouhia.]

Depends on flying tickets.. extra luggage with Finnair is super cheap! constantly travel with tools etc.. sometimes 2-4 luggages and its a lot cheaper to take extra luggage than ship them.. but again extra luggage with Finnair can be like 60€ and some flying companies ask hundreds..

[@dickmccarthy9496]

Costs A LOT! Not worth the price imho..

[@virveli11]

Great seeing you exploring and enjoying my home city and country! It would be awesome to meet you in person!

[@AN-nt3uv]

Fun fact: Lidl is as Aldi, in case you know it, a german discounter supermarket chain. I hope, you really had a great time and i am looking forward for more

[@OriginalFinnish22]

Thou lidl is very far from being cheap anymore.

[@AN-nt3uv]

@@OriginalFinnish22 yes, that‘s true. I knew, they expanded in the past, also to US, but was not aware about Finland 🇫🇮.

[@m4ssee]

Just a tip for your next trip to Finland. We take our shoes off inside. ;)

[@likkidixx]

This is important

[@Holodista]

In finland we usually dont have shoes on inside home hotel room airbnb etc because it will keep the floor clean that way

[@kaameeapina153]

You NEED to go visit Parola tank museum!

[@radeee87]

Pro tip: You can buy a prepaid internet connection and then no need to worry about wifi's or data roamings. It costs about 1€ per day with like 100mb/s speed.

[@robertm3561]

Yeah, just walk in R-kioski and buy it

[@anfrale4657]

its 25€ for 1 month of prepaid

[@radeee87]

@@anfrale4657 yes but you can also buy a normal prepaid sim. You can call, text and use internet with it. For example: telia prepaid: costs 5€, gives you 7€ loaded on your sim and unlimited 100mb/s internet costs 0.99€/day.

[@Jörmungandr_Döt]

More please! Love to see you vloggin

[@meitsi]

Please come to Rovaniemi!

If you want more expensive stuff (or at least it used to be, haven't visited for years) then visit Stockmann.

[@KilpinenAleksi]

Welcome To Finland, and hope you enjoy your visit!

[@n00blamer]

When you go to the Varusteleka thing, there is Helsinki's tallest point just behind the building ("Jätemäki" aka. "Jättäri"), it's just a small hill tbh, but they built stairs there you can go up and down for exercise.. and there are paths around it for jogging, walking and that sort of thing. At least there is a great view of Helsinki if you climb to the top.. you could get cool shots for your channel from there at the very least..

[@juhanivalimaki5418]

In Helsinki you can visit Taivaskallio anti-air battery hill. Has still one gun (Bofors 76mm) and the placements. And in Tuusula there is air defence museum, Ilmatorjuntamuseo. 193X-1944 Finland bought whatever they could which lead into quite a many different guns. Basically you do not want to have 12-15 different kind of heavy 75/76/88 mm guns, just one good model. But for the museum is of course nice to have a lot of variety. Tuusula shows also the BUK system Russian army soldiers used to shoot down the Malesian passanger plane from the Donbass "republics" area.

[@mattimotti6629]

There is one in Lauttasaari- if you care jogging, no rollers on sandy walkpaths. It is next to Jatkasaari (where you seem to stay).

[@mattimotti6629]

Plus Suomenlinna and War museum there. One can find also a bit modern costal defence cannon there. Even Isosaari, costal defence fortress still 20 y back is open if one has more time

[@juhanivalimaki5418]

@@mattimotti6629 Yes, Myllykallio in Lauttasaari has one memorial gun (88 SS? Sotasaalis, old Russian 85 gun made into 88), and some remains of the placements. And south-eastern tip of Lauttasaari has one 88 RMBK memorial gun, but no remains of placements.

[@Sidraughen]

Lidl is probably the cheapest stores. S-markets like Prisma are pretty cheap too. K-markets are the more expensive ones.

[@Krit1an6607]

Lidl is actually a german shop but it is cheapest one in Finland. S-group stores like Prisma and Alepa and K-group stores like K-market and K-citymarket are finnish stores. Hesburger is like finland version of McDonald's. Hesburger is little more expensive than McDonald's but them food is as good as McDonald's. I really hope you enjoy your stay here in Finland

[@IdiotPosterBoy]

the K market chain used to label their stores with various numbers of letter K depending on the store size, ranging from a single K ministores to KKKK superstores. they changed the naming scheme after the popular KKK markets made the international news a few times 😂

[@Jukrates]

Cheap in every aspect though

So stoked to see you came to visit us! ❤️ I hope you got to experience some authentic sauna and salmarikossu (salmiac schnapps). If not - next time head up further North (Tampere is an absolutely lovely city!), take the family with you and go to Särkänniemi amusement park and maybe try to get in touch with someone who could hook you up for a night in a summer cottage by the lake. ☺️ And marvel the midnight sun during Juhannus. I hope your trip was good! 🙏🏻

[@tipsforthecitizens7218]

Sadly too many from Tampere here.

[@kuroeltheog]

@@tipsforthecitizens7218 I don’t understand what this comment means. 😃 I’m from Kouvola and God forbid should anyone visit here. 😂 Sure, we have the Repovesi National Park but you can see similar scenery in pretty much anywhere outside of the capital. We have the largest South-Eastern shopping mall in Finland but it has nothing you couldn’t experience elsewhere. Poikilo Museum is the only exception. It has some regional historic pieces at exhibition that you cannot see anywhere else but you’d have to be a SUPER fan of Kouvola to come here just for that.. 😅
