About This Experience

Taste Helsinki – Food Tour Through Flavours and Stories
The history of Finland is colourful – and it’s reflected in our food! The heart of Finnish cuisine lies in purity: wild berries, mushrooms, game from deep forests, fish from clear lakes and the sea, creamy dairy products, and hearty bread made from rye and oats.
Join your local guide for a tasty walk through the soul of Helsinki. As you sample delicious local flavours, you’ll also hear fascinating stories about the city’s past and present. On this tour, you’ll experience not only food but also Helsinki’s unique architecture, design, and culture – plus, you’ll get insider tips on where to shop and explore further!

Visit to a market hall & tasting of game (e.g. moose, bear, reindeer)
Half a Finnish meat pie (“lihapiirakka”)
