Time Out, the iconic city brand, has arrived in Helsinki. Specialising in the city’s very best experiences, tastes and thrills, we bring together recommendations from local experts across fields (and regular people too) in one place. The aim is simple: to help everyone enjoy Helsinki more, more easily – and to get out there even when it’s raining.
That happens through recommendation-led features, and plenty have already landed on our brand-new website.
The hottest local picks right now
On the site you’ll find up-to-the-minute, carefully curated picks for restaurants, bars, events, hotels, theatre, art exhibitions and experiences – basically all the fun stuff Helsinki has to offer. Our job is to make choosing easy: settle in, read our guides and pick the thing that hits the spot today.
All our tips are based on our local writers’ first-hand experiences. Our guiding principle is clear: We know because we go – our writers are out in the city, so they know which places are genuinely worth recommending (and which aren’t).
Time Out Helsinki is part of a bigger launch: we’re publishing four sites in Finland. Time Out Finland covers the whole country, and to start with we’re focusing on the biggest cities like Turku, Tampere, Oulu, Jyväskylä and Rovaniemi. While we’re a city title, we’ll also highlight nature destinations and the unique experiences of Lapland – because you can’t talk about the best of Finland without Lapland. Alongside the English-language sites, both Time Out Helsinki and Time Out Suomi are published in Finnish.
Time Out is a globally recognised brand that began in London in 1968 as A4 listings zines. Today it’s one of the world’s best-known city and travel media brands and a global phenomenon – and now it’s bringing the very best of Helsinki together in one place.
