At the top of the list of things to do today is to explore Kallio, a neighborhood that captures the true essence of Helsinki. Take your time to uncover its best sides and enjoy its proximity to many of the area’s best attractions.
Maximize your last day in Finland and go on a shopping spree in Helsinki’s shopping center, the lively Stockmann Department Store. Browse for souvenirs to remind you of your wonderful journey in Finland. You can also explore high-end shops for luxury items.
Before you conclude your road trip in Finland, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Helsinki.
You’ll then say farewell to Helsinki. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Finland!
