THE SPIRIT OF HELSINKI: The sun always shines on Esplanade park
Hello summer! Lovely to see you again. Esplanade is the official Helsinki Summer Headquarters, a green belt where you show off, sit on benches, eat ice-cream and terrace-hop. Here is a short tasting menu of the Esplanade terraces.
Ravintola Teatteri. The entertainment centre of the esplanade from morning to sunrise. Pohjoisesplanadi 2.
Café Strindberg’s terrace is favoured by politicians and financiers. Pohjoisesplanadi 33.
Brasserie Kämp’s terrace is the most extravagant and international one on Esplanade. On the covered terrace one can combine dining and sitting out by the street. Pohjoisesplanadi 29.
Kappeli’s large terrace has a 148-year experience of entertaining guests. The Finnish National Romantic composer Jean Sibelius already partied it out there. Eteläesplanadi 1.
