Will be visiting in two months. Saving this for future reference! The spa and pools seem very interesting!

[@MillaExplores]

Perfect! Thanks for watching Steven, and I hope you'll enjoy Helsinki and the Finnish culture! I'm sure the spa and pools (and the saunas) will be a relaxing experience :)

I loved all your tios and sites to see...precise and a bit different from others!

Thank you, that's so kind! ☺️

[@elizabethsleison6079]

Thank you so much. What a wonderful video. I appreciate your help and attention to detail. You are most kind.

Thanks Elizabeth, I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it! 😊

[@AskAnEndocrinologist]

Amazing video. I’m travelling to Finland next week. Just a small suggestion you could add small videos along with mentioning places 😊

[@MillaExplores]

Amazing! I hope you enjoy it ☺️ Thanks for the feedback!

[@MillaExplores]

Is Helsinki on your list of places to visit, or have you already been to Helsinki? And btw, make sure to follow me on Instagram @millakatarinaaa if you want to see more stuff from me. 😊

[@MbrayipGboshe-lu4db]

Hi can I get an invitation from you..

[@GreatCityAttractions]

Useful information Milla.

[@MillaExplores]

Glad to hear! ☺️

[@WeFade2Grey]

Really useful, thank you for posting. I was only planning to pass through on the way to Tallinn but I may change my plans and stay longer!

[@MillaExplores]

Thanks for watching! 🤗 Oh nice, Tallinn is wonderful but a day trip to Helsinki from there is super convenient if you'd like to see some of the Finnish capital as well. You can take the ferry which is about 2 hours one way. 😄

[@ion282]

i'm in helsinki (last one tomorrow after 4 days, now i'm gonna in the northern part of finland) and i loved this city. I walked on the streets, ate finnish meatballs, salmon soup ect and i loved it. This city is the best i have visited; it's incredible (from a french ^^)

[@MillaExplores]

ooh that's so nice to hear! :)

[@ion282]

@@MillaExplores do you have any tips for Savonlinna région?

[@Zhakkaas]

Thanks for the great tips @mila explores. Is the ferry ride to suomenlinna included in the day pass sold by HSL?

[@MillaExplores]

Yes it is! Suomenlinna can be reached with any HSL ticket. :)

[@cedriclloyd5571]

What do you recommend for getting from the train to my hotel if have heavy luggage?

[@MillaExplores]

Uber! :)

[@cedriclloyd5571]

@@MillaExplores Thank you. I'm looking at going in Mid-March. I'm excited to explore your country.

[@georgecuster527]

Best video ever .

[@MillaExplores]

Wow I appreciate that!! 😍

[@marknaji7148]

Thank you Milla for sharing these tips and info, I have my flight booked on July 16th, and I’m planning on visiting Helsinki, Tampere, Turku and Porvoo. I’m a solo traveller and thinking to spend about 8 days in Finland. Any other cities you recommend me to consider during my trip ? Thanks again.

[@MillaExplores]

I'm so glad to hear that this was helpful! Awesome that you're traveling to Finland! I think you'll have plenty to do visiting Tampere, Turku, Porvoo, and Helsinki in 8 days. More places might be too much. Remember to visit Turun linna castle in Turku, and if you're in Tampere in the morning you can have a nice brunch at Cafe Pispala :)

[@ArthurSchneider-k1p]

Thank you!

[@matenzo]

Stupid question but can you have your phone with you in a sauna?

[@MillaExplores]

There are no stupid questions, right? 😆 But no, you shouldn't bring your phone to the sauna. Sauna is considered a peaceful space. I've also seen people in the US using the sauna in sports clothing which is also incorrect 🫢

[@JinJinDoe]

Why can't you buy more than 2 tickets on HSL... I can't get my family to use that app

[@MillaExplores]

I have no idea 😅 Probably something you should contact HSL about 😊

[@iamemilyking]

Incredible video 😊💕✨

I'm going next week, i wanto to see many things there, and you're very pretty, I'd like to see you too! 😉😘

[@MillaExplores]

Luckily there are plenty of nice things to see in Helsinki besides me 😂

[@ASisuStory]

Like 666 is mine! sisu!!!!

[@ZeppoIlmari]

My tip, don't come to helsinki in the spring time because it's so dirty. Or if you want to see one of the worlds dirtiest city then come but don't be shocked

[@aysuismailzadeh2554]

Why?

[@TimmmTim]

WHAT??? I CANNOT HEAR YOU!!

[@MillaExplores]

Hi, I recommend turning up the volume if it's too low! 😇

[@TimmmTim]

@@MillaExplores or maybe next time turn on the microphone? I was watching videos before yours and the volume was just fine. I will also watch videos after yours so I don't want to get a stroke if I turn the volume up too much. Just a tip for your future video

[@MillaExplores]

@@TimmmTim Thanks for the feedback. I use the Rode VideoMicro as my microphone, and it is always turned on. The microphone settings and distance can of course affect the sound.

[@yets0]

The audio is fine for me

[@ANR1122]

​@@MillaExplores or maybe try speaking a little louder

[@daveycrockett40]

What is that word you keep saying, sounds like "saw-na"? You mean "sow-na"? Come on, it's the one Finnish word everybody knows, but nobody pronounces correctly. Please help the world and pronounce it correctly as well.

[@InSoloDeo]

Please, calm down. It’s sauna

[@MillaExplores]

Are you telling a Finnish person how to pronounce sauna? Definitely not sow-na 😂😂 but you do you!!

[@daveycrockett40]

@@MillaExplores yes, I am. I am of Finnish descent as well. Can you trace your roots to Finland? My maternal grandparents were both born in Finland. My paternal great-grandparents were all born in Finland. I know how to pronounce Finnish.
