This is an amazing place, it may look like a shady wooden house, but it's a commonly organized Sauna that is free for anyone to visit and have a sauna and swim in the sea. Bring a towel and a swimsuit if you like and courageously join a real Finnish experience.

Some people say you can hear the Korkeasaari lions roar even in Merihaka. But if you want to see them too it's quite easy to get to the Helsinki's Zoo island. You can hop on a boat at Hakaniemi or take the new bridge via Mustikkamaa Island.

Essentials

It's only 20 steps from the closest door and it's open until 22pm, so easy option for groceries. (The map shows the location wrong, it's right next to the apartment, on the K1 level, on the north side.)

Parks & Nature

Island full of nature, jogging trails and a beach. Accessible via brand new bridge from Kalasatama. (Look for big white arc to spot the bridge, it's not yet on all maps!)

Small park on an island nearby. Easiest way to get on an island. :) And it's located on the way from Merihaka towards the nice sights around Kauppatori.

Amazingly remote feeling island not far from densely populated areas, but it feels like countryside. You could take tram 6 to the end station and go jogging through the wooden walkway to the island.

Shopping

In Finland the only place to buy wine (or any alcohol above 5%) is a special chain of shops called Alko. This is the closest one. It also has a bit bigger grocery store in the same building, and a nice bakery just across the road.

Food Scene

Nicely located restaurant that's built on a floating platform. Specializes on seafood and bit pricey, but nice views towards the sunset and peaceful bay.

Vegetarian/Vegan restaurant with wonderfully wide selection of warm and cold foods from quality ingredients. You can gather what you like in a big buffet and you pay by weight (22,30€/kg).

Tiny and cute thai restaurant. No reservations, but often they can squeeze small groups in. I've been happy with the price/quality ratio here.
