Reviews for Finland

Café Buffo is a nice coffeehouse that suffers from its location in middle of Sello shopping. Would the café be somewhere else, the ambience would be much better. A number of seats is arranged a sort of lounge-like, and there is more feeling of privacy than with normal coffeehouse seating. This hel... More >

Moda Aleksanteri is a surprisingly fresh fashion store being part in the Moda chain that used to be the dresser for older ladies... Anyhow, Moda Aleksanteri is a sort of a flagship store, located in the prime spot on Aleksanterinkatu in downtown Helsinki.

The selection is tilted heavily to 25-40 ... More >

Moko stocks everything and between for furnishing your home in Asian or traditional style. The place is fully loaded with small items, for example, statues of Buddhas, wooden Christmas pigs and candles. Ask the clerks for any Finnish specialties and make your friends envy.

Myymälä2 is a really strange shop, especially in Helsinki. Located in a basement on a more quiet part of a renown bar and art street, the shop is an tantalising mixture of a contemporary art gallery and a fashion shop.

Expect to find the unexpectable. The garments and the items sold here may be... More >

The art on the walls is hilarious and makes you smile. All works of art are on sale, so you can purchase a permanent sour... More >

Nanna Bayer is a distinguished porcelain craftwoman in Finland. She specialises in "neriage" porcelain, a method for making extremely thin, yet durable dishes. All items are lightweight, and a espresso cup weighs far less than the coffee held in the cup. The items look distinctly handmade -- yet the... More >

Back on the old days, Nanso was known to produce cheapish garments that were used by the elder folks. A few years ago they radically changed their course, hired Paola Suhonen to design bleeding edge clothes and now they are one of the most fashionable houses in Finland.

Their design shop is locat... More >

The entrance to Nicky & Nelly store is a bit understatement for the shop: it looks like any small boutique door, but the store expands behind corner into a huge space full of clothes, shoes and accessories for children.

Nicky & Nelly is a chain store, but I've never seem them having so much of st... More >
